As a Japanese person, I just wanted to point out that these manners are only for these very authentic restaurants where the food is so well executed that they want you to enjoy it just as is, so that it tastes exactly how they intend it to taste. They are the pros, they know the best way to eat them, and you're supposedly there, paying expensive money, to experience their way of prep/service. It's not just religious/cultural manners. There's actually a logical reason behind them, for customers to taste it the best way possible. If that feels too controlling or you have a certain preference on how you want to eat your food, different from their suggestion, then it defeats the whole purpose of even going to these restaurants. Just don't go. It's obviously not for you, and there's nothing wrong with that. It not only disrupts the flow of the restaurant, which affects other guests' food and experience, but also causes stress on both ends because you too are paying too much money to be forced to eat a certain way. If you go to a more casual sushi joint, Japan or US, you can drench your California rolls with sriracha and spicy mayo all you want. You'll actually need these sauces because the fish/rice/technique won't be good enough to taste good on its own. It's very difficult to make good enough sushi to even be worth all these bothersome manners. That is why it's so meticulous and expensive. Besides, most people's palates, who are used to flavoring food with strong spices and sauces, won't even be able to differentiate and enjoy these kinds of food because it's too subtle. Most will find it too bland. I know from experience because I've taken many of my American friends to try dining at these places. People have different sensitivities and palates, depending on what they ate growing up, and there's no right or wrong. Like art, it's not for everybody. If you read this long-ass comment all the way to the end, I appreciate your precious time, you are a true legend, but also bored as f**k lol

This man has the courage to make a restroom joke and say hi hello. He is a true legend.

I will forever remember the restroom joke when dipping my Sushi now, but I will never do it wrong ever again. Thanks for the explanation Mr Chef.

Chef Yasuda served me and a friend omakase at his restaurant in Tokyo in 2016 and it was one of the best meals of my life. What made it one of the best wasn't just the food (which was incredible), but also Chef telling us stories of his time living in New York City, his visits to the fish market in Tokyo, and the funny jokes along the way. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
