I just hate when I'm not holding it properly and some of the rice falls into the soy sauce and gets too saturated.
I love it when people tell me how "in Japan they do it this way" to point out what I am doing wrong. I usually ask when was the last time you were in Japan? Usually the response is never. I then say I only spent three years in Japan so I may not have seen that.
I will put a small amount of soy in the bowl add in some wasabi and mix. If the chef is using really good wasabi and using the right amount then there is no need to add more. Then I use chopsticks turn the sushi over and lightly touch the fish to the soy.
