Accessories

The accessories needed for the preparation of Sushi look very special at first sight. But most of the tools can be replaced with things already found in a good furnished kitchen. Two aspects need to be taken into account: As far as possible, do not use tools made out of metal. The vinegar and the metal brought together will change the taste of the prepared meal substantially. And the tools made out of wood or bamboo should be new or been used up to now only for the preparation of Sushi. Both materials adopt the taste and smell of the used ingredients and have negative influence on the final taste.

In the following, several tools for the handling of rice and fish are presented and listed you will find all other utilities needed for the successful preparation of Sushi.
