I have just started to eat sushi but what do you have with it?
Answers:
You can get various sauces that do go with it but you have to like them first. Sushi is eaten on its own but can be eaten with sauces like soya sauce. it comes with most sushi packs and depending to taste you can have as little or a smuch as you want. I would advise you to go and buy a big or expensive pack of sushie from a shop (Marks and spencers are good or if you live in London Harrods (well the shop across from harrods called harrods ?) do really good packs that arn't really that expensive. 3 pounds-marks and sparks, 4 pound harrods.) these normally contain a good amount of sauces for you to try. you could also vist a sushi resaurant as they will have them there and peiople will advise you as well, however these are quite hard to come by and i have only ever seen them in central london.

Wasabi (green) soy (black) and sake (bloo dy brilliant) Sushi means rice.

edamame... soy bean pods that are cooked and salted( you eat them like peas.... yummy)
miso soup....or salad with ginger dressing.
good luck.
i probably wouldn't order a side of rice like some people mentioned, that would be tooo much..
Sushi can be eaten by itself, or with Maki, or Sashimi. Sashimi is raw fish, and Maki is basically Sushi wrapped in seaweed. Wasabi is a horseradish, dried, powdered, and mixed into a paste with water. Very hot. Mix wasabi into soy sauce, and dip your sushi into that. Try Chinese mustard also.
wasabi(horseradish, take care),soy sauce a little fresh salad and a few bottles of Tiger beer
Not sure what to have with it, but I would suggest having Imodium tablets afterwards!
Salad with ginger dressing, and mushroom or miso soup.
With the sushi itself use soy sauce and wasabi. The pickled ginger is used as a palate clenser between different types of sushi or sashimi.
As a side dish with sushi, I like miso soup or Japanese onion soup, edamame, gyoza, or a green salad with ginger dressing. I usually eat enough sushi to get full, so I don't order "main dishes" like teryaki chicken or anything like that when I go out for sushi.
sakee!!!
hot sakee is my favorite, blends the flavors of sushi quite well, be careful because is quite strong! It is rice wine , you can get it in any Japanese restaurant or Asian food store.
Some people like to drink beer with sushi.
If you don't drink alcohol, club soda with a splash of lime tastes good!
Many good answers here. Besides Wasabi and soy sauce for the dip, pickled ginger is traditional.
I love to drink Asahi or Sapporo Japanese beer. It really goes great with sushi. Order salad with ginger dressing, very delicious! Also Miso Soup is a great beginning to a great sushi meal.
For a cooked sushi, try spider roll. It's made with fried soft shell crab (not spiders) and is devine!
Cold Sake is my favorite.
A green tea Mochi for dessert.
soy sauce, wasabi, and rice
Its usually eaten with light soy sauce or wasabi. An accompanying drink would be sake (japanese rice wine).
I love sushi...but on its own its not the most filling, and it can be expensive if you buy more to fill yourself up! Generally you'd just have sushi with some pickled ginger, wasabi ( abit like mustard) and soy sauce.
You could also have something like tempura vegetables, or some stir fry along with it to fill you up a bit more.
Try Edamame to add a bit of greenery! They are Japanese Soy beans that you boil or steam with the pod on for about 10 mins, pour into a bowl and sprinkle with rock salt, soy sauce or chili oil. The beans are squeezed directly from the pods into the mouth with the fingers....they delicious and really good for you. You can get them from Chinese supermarkets or Birds Eye and M&S have started to do them shelled (but thats not as fun!)
You don't have to eat it with anything. Sushi chefs are very creative with the ingredients.
Sushi can be a meal on its own. There's sushi - which is the generic name for anything that sits on or in a ball of rice. A "maki" is sushi that's made by wrapping a sheet of dried seaweed around rice and some filling (my favourite is soft shelled crab maki). Some sushi has got raw fish or shell fish on top of the rice roll but you can also get those pieces of raw fish or shell fish on their which is called sashimi.
Accompaniments are usually ginger (which I don't like) and a Japanese soy sauce that you dip your sushi into. Wasabi (which is horseradish and tastes a little like really strong mustard but better) is usually added into the soy sauce and stirred in but the actual way of eating it is to separate the two. Put a little wasabi on the piece of sushi and dip into the soy.
I like salmon sashimi but to the Japanese, tuna sashimi is the good stuff. I don't particularly like the taste of tuna but I do like fatty tuna which I believe is taken from the belly of the tuna.
Welcome to the wonderful world of sushi!
Oh! Japanese food is very mix and match. You pick the sushi variety you want. You can have it with other a-la-carte dises like chicken or grilled fish, noodles, rice dishes, or soup! try some sukiyaki if the restaurant serves it!
