"Ebi" is a poached headless butterfly cut Black Tiger shrimp,

…"Ama Ebi", means sweet shrimp & refers to a sushi, usually Nigiri style, with the small, raw “Hokkoku Akaebi”, the Alaskan Pink Shrimp

 

The way to eat sushi differs in Japan from the usual consumption in Western countries. However, consumption is also changing in Japan, as sushi has also developed into a fast food snack.

 

Traditionally, sushi is not eaten with chopsticks, rather out of hand in Japan & is not bitten off, but placed in one piece in the mouth, in the western hemisphere it has become common practice to eat sushi with chopsticks. This makes it necessary for a sushi chef to roll the individual rolls much firmer.

 

With the soy sauce, sprinkle the nigiri sushi either individually or dipping the fish side in the sauce, …definitely not the rice side, so the piece will stay together & won't become soaked with the salty soy sauce. Wasabi & soy sauce are generally not mixed together, mixing both is considered as a "Western" habit to do & looked at it as somewhat disrespectful.

the Devil created Cooks,
