This seems like one of those higher end sushi counters, where you get one or two pieces at a time. You generally shouldn’t put rice in the soy sauce as the rice would fall apart. And you really shouldn’t pass the sushi with your chopsticks to another set of chopsticks. All of the other things are fine in an izakaya setting. A colleague of mine who was in sales and had to make sure to cater to our customer’s wishes was absolutely fine with mixing wasabi with the soy sauce for example. She one hundred percent knew about etiquette.

My question is…how do you eat it within 30 seconds? I get that this type of etiquette exists in many different cultures but while I have never eaten sushi, I don’t exactly get how that one is even possible?

The context of this sign being in a sushi restaurant would be the key here. In higher-end, “omakase” sushi restaurants, you’ll be served a set of sushi piece by piece as the chef makes it in front of you. Typically you’ll want to eat it as soon as it is placed on your plate.

It’s quite possible they simply make their sushi smaller, depending where you live. Americans tend to make things a size or two bigger than a lot of the rest of the world.

Wasabi and soy sauce one is a lie. You are also supposed to eat ginger before and after every dish
