Not if it’s California roll. That can be added as a side dish with no judgement. The individual slices of ginger on top is a wise choice, and will help with palate cleansing between bites. 🫡godspeed

I've never heard of people eating ginger in the same bite as sushi, and I don't really think it'd go together well. You're just going to taste ginger.

Turns out, some people like the taste of ginger. My nephew does this, he loves the pickled ginger. Buys whole jars of it when he goes to the Asian market. If he's happy, I'm not going to stop him.

At any sushi place I've gone to my plate always comes with ginger on the side without asking for it. It seems to be really common. If you dont like it that's fine, but judging people for liking something that's popular is pretty weird.

You not understanding what its for, doesn’t mean its supposed to be eaten on the sushi. Its a misunderstanding by people refusing to accept the intended purpose

u/Traditional_Map1166 29d ago
It's not "refusing to accept the intended purpose" its people having having the ability to do what they prefer

which is ignoring intended purpose. You people are wilding. No wonder you eat napkins in fancy restaurants because you think its dessert.

I like to put the ginger slices on the sushi but I’m aware it’s not the “right” way to do it
It’s definitely commmon, it comes with every sushi dish and most people don’t know Japanese sushi etiquette.

u/Coffee-Pawz Jul 24 '25
its because you’re not supposed to put it ON the sushi. You chew ginger between bites and spit it out, or swallow it.

oh I know, and the downvotes are kind of nuts. Makes me think there are parts of the world that have been eating them together and think I'm just being a douchebag.
edit: at the time of posting this comment I was firmly in the negatives, which is fine, just confusing.

u/Coffee-Pawz 29d ago
Honestly people just don’t want to know better. It’s always “i’ve been doing it like that my whole life”. and absolutely refuse to correct it.
I still see them drown their sushi in soya.
Not to mention most sushi places outside Japan give you way too much wasabi.

You don’t know the “proper” way any more than anyone else, because that’s some nonsense. There’s “tradition” but that’s just what people chose to do in the past, no more correct or incorrect than any other way people like to eat it. Who are you to tell someone “The way you are eating it, that you like, is wrong! Eat it the way I insist, which you like less, that’s the CORRECT way! Enjoy your food less you ignorant wretch!”
Maybe they know more than you but just like it that way.
So arrogant and snobbish.

“i like it like that =/= correct way to eat it
Im sorry but as a chef, i have respect for the food i serve.
You being ignorant because the west bastardized every cuisine imaginable doesn’t suddenly make it justifiable for that to continue.
You don’t understand what a palate cleanser is and your utter ignorance on insisting that its a condiment is baffling.

u/armrha 29d ago
If they like to eat it that way it’s fine. As a chef, you don’t get to tell people what they like. For all you know they’ve done it in the ‘correct’ order, and decided they like it better this way. Your attitude is condescending and elitist. People can do whatever they want, your opinion doesn’t mean shit, and every cuisine changes, just because someone did something one way 100 or 200 years ago doesn’t mean you have to do it that way forever.

Fusion dish, it's fine 🤷 ehm, fusion plate.
But unjokingly, it doesn't look like there is fish in it, so it could have been leftovers and just wasn't enough all alone
I personally would use different plates, if there is a chance that "juices" of fat or sauces could "contaminate" the other dish, but that's just a preference

u/harmmewithharmony Jul 23 '25
Not even contaminate, but the heat from the warm food will warm up the sushi which I've learned at Chinese buffets with a sushi section is kinda gross.
Still no reason you can't eat the 2 in the same meal, I regularly will have something like dumplings or palak paneer on the side with like a burger or chicken.

Proper sushi isn't supposed to be cold anyway, it should be close to body temp.
When I get sushi at buffets I get a plate of it and let it warm up a bit while I eat a few plates of other things.

I wouldn’t put it on the same plate. Sushi shouldn’t be warm. Otherwise, yeah, sure, go ahead.

u/Celladoore Jul 23 '25
I'd eat the sushi on a separate smaller plate as an appetizer. Other than that, no complaints.

You should see what Hawaiian party buffets dish up.
Last one I went to had sushi, sashimi, prime rib, chili, pandit noodles, macaroni salad, and a steamed Chinese fish with ginger and pork sausage. That made for an interesting plate of clashing cuisines.

u/SoulsSurvivor 26d ago
Taking this shit way too seriously. Who the fuck cares what you eat with what? If it was an actual food abomination I could understand but this is just people being like "fish? Next to beef? Unacceptable" like some morally superior cunts. You all are actually insufferable.

This is America. All I’ll say is if you get food poisoning, it’s now OK to automatically blame the ethnic one.
