Is it true that when eating sushi ginger is not to be put on the sushi, but rather eaten after each piece so as to cleanse the palate in order to fully enjoyeach piece?

Yup, I learned that you eat the ginger afterward. I dip the sushi in some soy sauce with wasabi, eat it in one bite, and then have a piece of ginger... all with perfect chopstick form, of course.
I am a purist. No soy sauce for me. I've never liked it, and I feel like it usually overwhelms the flavor of the sushi. I do however use a lotof wasabi, and a lot of ginger after each piece. All, of course, with perfect chopstick form. Even Japanese people are jealous.
Sadly, as Whywesteppin is a white man, and has thus broken the rules of this thread as described in the title, I cannot accept his answer. The quest forJapanese people on a sneaker forum continues, against insurmountable odds.
Edit- Nevermind; you all came in at once. Case closed.

Raw fish give you worms.
Very long worms.
Google the worm museum in Japan.
It's all part of the diet plan. This summer, here I come. By the way, my only worm experiences involve dogs; something to think about.

I think the point of the shoyu is to lightly dip the topping (not the rice) in it. Kind of defeats the purpose of them adding vinegar to the rice if people are just going to soak it in shoyu.
Also never stick your chopsticks in your rice sticking straight up since that's usually how offerings to the dead are presented.
Don't hover over a plate with your chopsticks and don't gesture with them in your hand.
Your not suppose to have wasabi in your soy sauce.Originally Posted by LimitedRetroOG

Yup. This is what I learned, as well.
