Then there’s no need to dive straight into the most advanced varieties.
Start with mild, simple bites that give you a great experience from the very first mouthful.
Two safe favorites for beginners are hosomaki with cucumber and nigiri with salmon.
Hosomaki – the mild, simple classic
Hosomaki are small, elegant sushi rolls with the seaweed on the outside and a filling of rice and a crisp strip of cucumber.
Try your first piece without soy sauce or wasabi.
This way, you get the pure taste of rice, seaweed, and fresh cucumber a gentle introduction to the world of sushi.
Nigiri with salmon – silky and mild
Nigiri are small pads of rice topped with fresh fish. Salmon is a perfect choice for beginners because it has a mild flavor and a soft texture.
If you’ve tried smoked salmon before, you’ll find that fresh salmon is even more delicate and not at all as “fishy” in taste.
