Explore the world of sushi and sake with this approachable guide that will have you eating and ordering like a local.

The guide provides the basics on sushi and sushi protocol, a glossary of Japanese names for fish and their descriptions, a detailed review of tuna and its key sushi cuts, and an introduction to Japanese sake.

Use this guide to learn about sushi and sake and for tips on how to enjoy the ultimate Japanese culinary experience.

Tips range from how to order and eat sushi at a restaurant (dip the fish side, not the rice side, of a piece of nigiri sushi into soy sauce) to alcohol pouring etiquette (pour for others, not yourself).

As this guide will also be an invaluable reference for travelers to Japan, we have also included a special section on touring Tokyo’s famous Tsukiji fish market.
