Difficult sushi etiquette?
I have a digestive disorder which makes me unable to digest fruits and vegetables. But I love sushi and sashimi. Etiquette at a great sushi bar is to let the chef offer his choices, allowing him to present his food to you in a manner he feels is best. How can I request only what I can eat without offending the chef? That is, how can I fit my embarrassing request into the formal etiquette, how can I bring it up politely?
If you’re speaking of “omakase”, I think almost any sushi chef would be happy to accommodate any food allergies or digestive disorders. After all, you’re not merely stating dislike for certain kinds of foods– you have an actual medical reason! So simply order the omakase and let the server or chef know that you have medical reason for avoiding x, y, z (being as specific as possible so as to not miss out on the good stuff!).
I can’t think of many kinds of sushi that use vegetables anyway except for cucumber and avocado. Sashimi, by definition, is only sliced fish so that should not be an issue either. Omakase does include other kinds of dishes that are not sushi or sashimi (such as soups, little dishes, etc), and that’s probably where you’d encounter the most vegetables anyway.
