    Traditional sushi includes nigiri-zushi, which is vinegared rice topped with seafood or egg that is shaped by hand, and maki-zushi, which is rice rolled with seaweed and fillings like seafood and vegetables. Sushi restaurants in San Diego have created fusion sushi with additions from Mexican and Hawaiian cuisines like chiles, cilantro, and Spam. Proper sushi etiquette includes pouring drinks for your companion, lightly dipping sushi in soy sauce to enhance flavors, not using chopsticks to spear food, and slurping miso soup to cool it.

    TRADITIONAL SUSHI

    Two popular types are nigirizushi (squeeze sushi), vinegared rice shaped by hand and topped with pieces of seafood or egg; and maki-zushi (rolled sushi), rice rolled with nori (seaweed), with fillings such as seafood and vegetables.

    Chopsticks Dont cross your chopsticks when you are not using them. Lay them tightly together below your plate and directly in front of you.

    Agari (green tea) The traditional beverage with sushi. Some purists will drink only green tea with sushi.

    Gari (pickled ginger) Thinly sliced pickled ginger is used to refresh the palate between bites.

    Wasabi (Japanese horseradish) Many diners add wasabi to their soy sauce, but a more traditional approach is to pick up a bit of wasabi on your chopsticks with the sushi.

    Miso soup Pick up your soup and drink from the rim of the bowl. Slurping is fine for cooling the soup while you drink.
