This seems like one of those higher end sushi counters, where you get one or two pieces at a time. You generally shouldn't put rice in the soy sauce as the rice would fall apart. And you really shouldn't pass the sushi with your chopsticks to another set of chopsticks. All of the other things are fine in an izakaya setting. A colleague of mine who was in sales and had to make sure to cater to our customer's wishes was absolutely fine with mixing wasabi with the soy sauce for example. She one hundred percent knew about etiquette.

My question is...how do you eat it within 30 seconds? I get that this type of etiquette exists in many different cultures but while I have never eaten sushi, I don't exactly get how that one is even possible?
The context of this sign being in a sushi restaurant would be the key here. In higher-end, "omakase" sushi restaurants, you'll be served a set of sushi piece by piece as the chef makes it in front of you. Typically you'll want to eat it as soon as it is placed on your plate.
please do not chew off your sushi
Wow, the Japanese must have much bigger mouths than me
It's quite possible they simply make their sushi smaller, depending where you live. Americans tend to make things a size or two bigger than a lot of the rest of the world.
Wasabi and soy sauce one is a lie. You are also supposed to eat ginger before and after every dish
Yea I was like WTF. I went to Japan for work for several months and when the guys at Yokohama office took me eating sushi that's what they did.
Please shut the fuck up im trying to eat
3 bucks for some extra wasabi and ginger?! That better be the real stuff for that price
Real wasabi is way more expensive than $3.
When I lived in Japan (around 15 years ago, so etiquette might have changed since then) it was common to take the fish off of the rice and dip it in soy sauce, then put it back on the rice bed in instances where it was just placed atop the rice. Likewise, it was perfectly fine to mix wasabi into your soy sauce.
I've done things that way since without any overt disdain, so I think these are generally good guidelines, but you can probably get away with doing some things your own way.
So ketchup on sushi is acceptable
baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf
but funny, yeah
I assume it's fine as long as you don't get any on the rice
Cool, so I can bring in a hotplate and sautee them before I eat them. No rule against that
Unless you hand me a soy sauce pipette i'll just dip the rice part in the soy sauce, thank you very much.
And wtf is tiny tiny rice?
I think the tiny tiny rice is just sushi with very little rice. You can just see a smaller ball of rice under the fish bit.
Sashimi is usually just fish without rice. Sometimes rice is served as a side. I think it is meant for people that order Nigiri with little rice. They should just order Sashimi.
Thats wild I'll eat it however I like
Of course, the one that you make.
But if you are going to have it from a chef who says so at their restaurant, show some respect to their culture or else spend your money elsewhere.
It's my food. I bought it.
You don't even know what my ethnicity is, don't assume
So spending money gives you the right to disrespect cultures? Interesting
If this disrespects your culture you have a fragile ass stupid culture that should be made fun of.
Bigot has entered chat
Or, a culture that values respect over individualism. To each their own, but to me willingly eating food wrong to belittle a culture isn't "fun", it's just stupid and rude.
They are offering you a service and they follow a certain etiquette to have it, which is part of the service. If you can't follow it, don't be a customer.
If the business is going to belittle me cause I like soy sauce with my sushi or eat it in two bites then rest assured they will not be earning my business regardless.
This stuff gets posted for white people to pretend they are virtuous over. We are laughing at you.
What if I said you would be disrespectful of american culture if you ate a burger or steak wrong? You would probably laugh because that would be insane.
You are assuming my ethnicity wrong, but I'll go with it.
If I go to a restaurant where they specifically say it is disrespectful to eat something in a certain way, I would respect that. Or if I don't agree with it, I won't have food at their restaurant.
But I won't go to the restaurant just to prove their way of eating is wrong. That is where your dumb attitude comes in. You are basically the equivalent of wearing clown clothes to a funeral just because you don't agree with the etiquettes.
Learn to live among people, or live in your hole.
Don't disparage the noble profession of the humble clown. It's a worthy skill and no other artist is diminished in that way. To do so is to disrespect the culture of Greek and Roman from which the clown originated. These people are likely much more highly trained and skilled than you are. Or even I am.
Honk
Kind of funny that of course you go off about respect for other cultures when it comes to soy sauce on sushi but then turn around and denigrate an entire theater culture of two ancient peoples.
You're the bigot.
Ok. I see now, you are just talking crap with intentional misinterpretation just for the sake of argument.
I'm glad that you understood my point though, otherwise you won't take this stupid tangent. Try to apply it in life.
This is my last comment on this. Have a nice day.
How quickly the virtue signaler gives up when shown not to be quite as virtuous as first they thought.
Moron.
