Tried Sushi..........

[100%Disney]

I decided to try sushi at a very good sushi restaurant, or so I'm told, I didn't like it. I had the California roll, wasn't wanting anything with raw fish. Are you supposed to stuff the whole piece in your mouth? I don't know proper sushi etiquette, can't even use chopsticks. If you're not supposed to eat the whole piece then why are they so hard to cut? My mouth is just not big enough to shove that whole piece into (unbelievable huh?), I feel rude trying to. It didn't tast all that good either and I love Oriental foods. What's your advice?

I've never eaten Sushi anywhere else other than at home, but I do know that you try & bite into it in mouthfulls. Chopsticks.......now way, they are too awkward. I just use my fingers, after all they were made first

California Roll is nice, as is Seafood Roll & yesterday I had a Honey Chicken one for the first time & it was qutie nice too.

Maybe I should try some others before I write it off totally.

I like the Philadelphia roll. There are also some out there with fried shrimp that are pretty good.

They've always cut the rolls before they give them to me. I would have asked them to slice the roll.

100%Disney, I tried my first sushi at Kimono's in the Swan at WDW. It was okay. I can't say I loved it and I can't say I hated it. I love that wasabi stuff though.

It's fun to sit at the sushi bar at Kimono's and watch people up on the karaoke stage, though

Reminds me of the Food & Wine Fest at Epcot! A couple years ago my DD decided to try Escargot so she got a plate outside Chef De France while I got some wine. She put one piece in her mouth and chewed...and chewed and chewed until finally she got a terrified look on her face and spit it out! LOL! Said it was so loaded up with garlic that that's all she could taste at first. At least she tried though! You gotta hand it to her - she's got guts!!!

I just started eating sushi about a month ago and I am hooked. Nothing with raw fish, just the california rolls, vegetable rolls and shrimp tempura rolls. with extra wasabi. yum. I am also chop stick impaired, so I just use my hands!

I love sushi and sashimi. One of my favourite sushi is salmon skin sushi. The sushi has bbq salmon skin with shredded cucumber. yum yum yum!

I love all kinds and so do my kids... my son who hates any other type of rices... loves sushi..


They love california rolls, spring rolls, and the salmon rolls.

Okay guys, stop it...you're making us hungry! We lived in Japan for three years and we really miss going to the local sushi-go-rounds!

from eating Sushi for Dinner.....had a tooth pulled at 5:30 and ate Sushi at 6:30! I ONLY eat Salmon, including the California Roll and veggie rolls.

After living in Japan as a kid I eat pretty much any type of sushi. I'm not chopstick impaired but do eat sushi with my hands. My younger daughter went to visit her sister in Japan for spring break and adored the sushi-go-round restaurants

We are pretty big sushi fans here. Recently I got to go to Japan (for work) and had sushi there...WOW no comparison it was unbelievable. Few important things when trying it for the first time, (sounds like you followed the general rule of thumb anyway) start out with the rolls (particularly the California rolls), and then gradually make your way to the other stuff. I still have an issue with certain kinds of fish as sushi (not a huge fan of most of the white flesh fish) Yellow tail is pretty much the only white flesh fish I'll eat raw (or "fresh" as they refer to it in Japan).

While I was in Japan though I did start to get adventurous and ate "fresh" squid (little baby ones - whole) 5 years ago you couldn't have paid me to eat them. ALso tried sashimi, but for some reason it didn't take, I need the rice to break it up a little I think.

Not everyone likes sushi, but it was great of you to give it a try..who knows maybe someday you'll give it whirl again and you'll start to like it.

I would eat sushi if it wasnt fish and it was cooked

That's the only way I'd eat it too. I don't eat any seafood, and I'm not about to eat raw seafood.

 

[Serena]

LOL, I'd rather have my fish cooked too.

Had my first sushi at Wolfgang Puck's at Downtown Disney - didn't love it, didn't hate it. Had some more at California Grill on the same trip, that was better. Now I love it and I always order it when I go to Japanese places, or I sometimes pick some up for lunch between classes. I'm a vegetarian, so I usually get a cucumber and avocado roll.

Isn't the wasabi the really hot green stuff? I think that I may go back with a friend of mine, she loves sushi, so she can eat what I don't like. I do have to say, it looks real pretty, even if it doesn't taste that way.

I had some really yummy spicy tuna roll the other day... My sushi experience is limited, but I can't wait to get some more of this!
