Sure, you can have some.

...you should probably stop going to the place you’re going, if they need to salt and sugar their rice. Rice vinegar only, baby!

Yes, I agree - the classic nigiri-zushi (with sashimi as the tsume, anyway) needs only a bare minimum of three ingredients, with everything else being optional. But I’ve never seen a place insist on the wasabi and/or soy sauce; those are up to the customer.

That is what usually happens, yes. (And is basically expected!)

だったら話が早い、大体の点には同感だ. ただ、卵焼きで店の技量を測るのは前から疑問を持ってて (店で同じ人がバーナーと包丁を扱うとこを見たことない...) 「冬の口笛」程度の迷信だと思ってる.

...? Yes, that’s why I said ‘sushi rice’ and used ‘sake-nigiri’ as an example.

...no, I’m talking about nigiri-zushi. Sushi of the nigiri sort, which often (but not always) involves a piece of sashimi on top of a ball of sushi rice.

You’re not going to further season that salmon? Or use an ingredient besides vinegar in the sushi rice? Blasphemy.

The wasabi and soy sauce are optional, or else they wouldn’t be provided to the customer as well (you’ll have to bring your own Mrs. Dash). But the (rice) vinegar isn’t, as it is integral to the sushi rice.

Sushi rice is prepared with vinegar by definition, optionally wasabi between the rice and the neta when it’s nigiri, and it’s up to the customer to add soy sauce. You could be thinking of maki?

You can dip it if you want, yes, and the rice in sushi (not just nigiri) should in fact contain rice vinegar. But if you’re spicing the fish - sashimi - before giving it to the customer, you’re either doing something wrong or dabbling in ‘fusion’ cuisine.

With, perhaps, su (rice vinegar)? No, I had no idea.

It’s the customer that adds the soy sauce, and it’s called sushi because of the vinegar added to the rice. I’ve always considered the wasabi optional and up to personal taste, even if most places will add it without asking.

This is the best thing on the internet today.

Mmm... spiced nigiri sushi.

Giving DeNiro a role on SNL: good.

I would also accept Marco or Tarma.

...what.

...which doesn’t really apply here, since we’re not 18th century England, but okay.

I’m not sure ‘warning shot’ is a good way of putting it. Muller seems like a ‘I don’t make threats, I make promises’ kinda guy, and Flynn is now publicly known to be a liar and a snitch.
