Mikado Sushi is a chain of restaurants that focuses on providing high quality Japanese cuisine to the western culture. Mikado, or a reference to the Japanese emperors, names itself for being above all. This naming reference, coupled with the reputation that sushi is gaining in North America, allow the restaurants to thrive.
All the big cities of United States and Canada possess at least one restaurant of Mikado Sushi.
People take it for granted that a sushi must include raw fish which is not true. Mikado Sushi is also offering almost all classes varieties of vegetarian sushi food. Besides the fact that in many western countries sushi dishes with raw fish is given preference, still Mikado Sushi is making it certain that their sushi food are for all groups of people.
When you eat at Mikado sushi, you will be presented with the option of using chopsticks. One of the major differences between Japanese and western culture is how meal is consumed. There is a great deal of ceremony in how meal is eaten in Japan, however, the Japanese have no fears of using their fingers or being at ease in how they eat their meal.
Putting your chopsticks at the table or placing them next to your palate may be considered as bad table manners but using the fingers while eating is up to standard. Lots of Americans find it strange while eating sushi because the usage of the fingers and the possibility of getting them dirty, the bizarre utensils used by Japanese and odd sounds produce by them while eating; such as, Japanese usually use a chopstick with a little scoop to eat Ramen which can produce irritating sounds.
If your fingers get stained do not worry at all because you can only enjoy the sushi when you remain at ease with it, in the end you can always use the napkins to clean yourself.
If you are not at ease with chopsticks then just eat it with your fingers it might add more fun. Fork or other table tools cannot be used while having sushi because it is very fragile and will crumble if you use them.
Ordering sushi at Mikado Sushi in great quantities which you cannot subsequently eat would be considered ill-mannered. While you can finish Ramen or other such food totally but also avoid leaving your soya sauce and sushi without eating them.
