Going to sushi restaurant wouldnt be daunting. Here are some tips to devour it.
1. Try practicising at home with chopsticks-but if you cant master it, its not the worst thing to abandomn them and use your fingers.
2. Pour soya sauce into a saucer provided. Mix in a pea size amount of wasabi (hot horseradish like green paste). Add more according to taste.
3. Pickled ginger is a palate cleanser, not a garnish. Eat a slice between different types of sushi.
4. When eating a nigiri (rice topped with fish, meat or vegetables) dip the topping side into the soya. Rice soaks up too much soya, which can overpower the other subtle flavours.
5. Sushi should land in the mouth fish-side down for maximum taste-your tonguewarms the fish, so you dont just taste the rice.
6. Do eat a whole piece in one go-breaking it apart tends to end in a messy collapse.

Well firstly I do not need to practise as I do understand how to use chopsticks. Oh I love soya sauce but I do not like anything too hot. I do like to eat some ginger so I would do this. Yes rice does soak up too much soya, yes I can imagine that if you did not eat the sushi in one go then it really would end up in a messy collapse.
