What prefers does Japanese prefer to drink for their sushi meal?

by

It depends a little on whether they eat sushi on a weekday or an evening at the weekend.

As a starting point, the Japanese prefer to drink an ice-cold classic beer with their sushi. The Japanese are a beer people and they value a good beer for the food. However, it is also Japanese who prefers a cup of green tea for the food.

On weekends where the Japanese are free and have more time to sit and eat a meal for several hours. There, the Japanese will also tend to drink sake for sushi.

In Japan, the range of sake is at least as large as the selection of wines in a European supermarket. Therefore, a sushi restaurant will serve sake within various price levels which are closely aligned to the menu that is served.

Does Japanese sushi taste very different?

by

Yes, it does.

Here the other day I ate sushi which was made in a Danish sushi restaurant.
The sushi tasted different because other ingredients are used. Denmark is also one of the countries where many kinds of topping are used on sushi pieces.

The sushi with topping had a less flavor than the sushi I make without topping which are normally served in Japanese restaurants.

Raw materials do have lot of flavor and taste and you should only use topping to give the dinning experience an extra dimension.

At the Sushi course for beginners you will learn to make delicious and tasty sushi pieces.
