I don't remember when was the first time I tried sushi, but you can always start with the ones that don't have raw fish, like cucumber or egg etc. Your sushi looks delicious, I too like to cook stuff now and then, but definitely try the sushi restaurants near you, will help you learn how it should taste and get used to the flavor ^^ Check out Hao´s recent blog post: Cooking Instant Ramen: Microwave Edition

Sushi… is overrated. Before I first came to Japan over 5 years ago I tried some standard sushi from an expensive supermarket in London – figured that was all they would have to eat in Japan so I should at least be prepared! As it turns out though, they have tasty food in Japan too – what a surprise that was!

I wonder what the statistics are on sushi consumption in Japan. I’d say it’s losing out to McDonalds with the younger generations.

@Deas: Thank you so much for your input! I would like continue making my own Sushi too, but fortunately for me, not living in Japan (yet), there are a lot of Japanese Sushi restaurants where I live, so it will be a piece of cake to try some made right in front of you. I am anxious to try out the Unagi. ^^

Hey there Sanjo-chan! I feel like this is a really candid, honest approach to trying sushi for the first time. I was super skittish about it myself before I moved to Japan. (My mom had a seafood allergy, so we never had any at home…combine that with the raw factor and it was an anxiety-laden experience!) I’d like to say kudos to you for trying something new, and I want to encourage you to try unagi. Unagi is eel – which sounds freaky, I know, but trust me – it is the most delicious entry-level sushi. It’s not raw, for starters. And the taste is wonderful. Plus, wasabi and soy sauce are completely unnecessary. The truth is, I really dislike sushi rice – it’s the vinegar. So I started out with unagi-donburi first, and then switched up to the unagi sushi roll. Anyhoo, I vastly prefer sashimi now. I get all the goodness of the fish without the vinegar! Mmmm…sashimi. Thanks for the entry!
