So I most like getting salmon belly sashimi with a side bowl of rice. That is how I can construct my favorite sushi experience. I can vary the amount of fish, rice, and sauce to make every bite the best.

However, that doesn’t really seem to be an option, and I am sure there is a good reason? If it’s just to respect the chef, I really really dislike Wasabi, it’s like soapy cilantro but sharp and destroys all other flavors.

I feel ordering nigiri without Wasabi is offending the chef because the amount they put on is part of that art, and I respect artists, my tastes just don’t always jive with them. I see ordering sashimi and a side of rice as not offending the chef, but am I actually being more offensive??
