- Tatami mats are a kind of Japanese carpeting which is usually only in dining
- rooms of houses and at Japanese inns. Never walk on tatami with your shoes
- on. Many resutoran have raised areas where you can sit on tatami mats(on the
- floor). You must remove your shoes before you step up onto the platform.

- When you sit down at a sushi bar there will already be hashi and a small
- bowl for soy sauce at your place. Take the soy sauce container and pour
- about 1/8" of sauce into the bowl. Next take a small amount of wasabi or
- green horseradish with your hashi and mix it into the soy sauce. Dip your
- sushi into the sauce before eating. Wasabi is very hot so be careful!
