I read this once and for a few months felt guilty about my terrible etiquette. But I\’m already back to my old ways because FUCK THAT I LOVE MY WASABI-SOUP-CONCOCTION SOAKING INTO MY RICE!
I’m from the land of sushi and I dunk my sushi in a big pool of soy sauce because I want my sushi to be nice and salty enough. I prefer eating my sushi the way I want instead of looking right.
This is just more of the same, BS, over-exoticizing of Japan that we’ve seen before. As much as a Japan native may agree with these in theory, the practice is a different story – eat your sushi and sashimi however the fuck you want, people. Nice illustration though.

I too read this and felt guilty for my poor etiquette. But then I remind myself this is ‘merica bitches! I’ll eat like a barbarian if I want!

Most of the “don’t” section is wrong.
