Mikado Sushi: Sushi Food At Its Best
Mikado Sushi is a chain of restaurants that focuses on providing high quality Japanese cuisine to the western culture. Mikado, or a reference to the Japanese emperors, names itself for being above all. This naming reference, coupled with the reputation that sushi is gaining in North America, allow the restaurants to thrive.
From United States to Canada, in any large city you can find at least one branch of Mikado Sushi and can have all kind of sushi food from there.
First, sushi is not necessarily raw fish. While most people assume sushi always includes raw fish, there is a decent variety of vegetarian sushi dishes available. As many western cultures look down on the inclusion of raw fish in diets, Mikado sushi works to ensure that there are dishes that everyone can enjoy.
When you eat at Mikado sushi, you will be presented with the option of using chopsticks. One of the major differences between Japanese and western culture is how meal is consumed. There is a great deal of ceremony in how meal is eaten in Japan, however, the Japanese have no fears of using their fingers or being at ease in how they eat their meal.
It is considered as bad-manners if you leave your chopsticks right at the table or put them beside your palate, however, if you use your fingers while eating sushi, they have no trouble with that. Eating sushi might infuriate most of the Americans because of strange utensils used by Japanese, eating with the aid of fingers which may get unclean and producing weird sounds. For example Japanese eat Ramen with a chopstick and a small scoop and produce maddening sounds.
With the small ladle and chopsticks favored by the Japanese, it is almost impossible to eat without noise. Do not be afraid to get your fingers dirty. After all, napkins are provided and sushi is best enjoyed when you do not have to fight with your food.
If you are not at ease with chopsticks then just eat it with your fingers it might add more fun. Fork or other table tools cannot be used while having sushi because it is very fragile and will crumble if you use them.
Ordering sushi at Mikado Sushi in great quantities which you cannot subsequently eat would be considered ill-mannered. While you can finish Ramen or other such food totally but also avoid leaving your soya sauce and sushi without eating them.
