Hi everyone.
We are almost done making the donut shop set, but in the meantime here you have some sushi for your sims.
Sushi has to be one of my favorite foods in the whole world, and to think that when I was younger I was disgusted by it, just the thought of eating raw fish wasn't very appealing, but then I tried and I have been a sushi fan ever since :P
There is an etiquette to eating sushi, for those wanting to go out on a sushi night. First, sushi has to be eaten with your hands, not chopsticks or any other kind of tool (chopsticks are accepted in most sushi establishments, but the real connoisseur eats it with his hands). You may dip your sushi piece in a sweet-sour soy sauce if you want to add a little moist and flavor, but never dip it entirely, only half or less, or you will lose some of the other tastes. If your sushi is nigri sushi (rice on bottom and fish on top) you must dip it from the fish side and not the rice, this is because the moist may make the rice loose its form and crumble, and also rice is prepared with a specific amount of vinegar for it's taste and soy sauce may kill this taste.
At the moment of taking sushi to your mouth, specifically nigri sushi, you must put it in your mouth fish side down and rice side up. The reason is because the first touch of the fish (and soy sauce) with the tongue is better than the rice, but the taste of the sauce will be somethimes overwhelming rather than the fish. The reason for NOT doing it the other way around (fish side up and rice down) is because rice does not taste so much (only sour) and the fish only sticks to the palate (tastelessly.)
Now you know how to eat sushi right ;) Please enjoy!
PS. There is so many types of sushi that we are making more sushi plates with more variety, this is just the first but more are coming soon so stay tuned.
Please leave your comments, even though we may not answer all (or sometimes non, hehe) we do read them all and appreciate them dearly.
