Waiter
Yes, madam. How can I help you?
Customer
I’d like to order. Can you tell me what’s in this? Is the fish really raw?
Waiter
I see, let me explain. Basically, sushi is rice that has been lightly dressed in a special vinegar. The fillings and toppings are all different. So if you don’t want to try the raw fish I recommend this one here, it’s cucumber. Or this one is boiled crab.
Customer
I suppose I should give it a go… What’s that black stuff around it?
Waiter
This is nori. It’s dried seaweed with a very mild sweet taste.
Customer
I see. Well, I think I’ll have to be brave.I’ll try the mixed sushi set. I’ll try anything once!
Waiter
Good choice Madam. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!
