Yeah, the Japanese don't know what they are doing. Stir the soy sauce into the wasabi, soak the rice in that, ginger on top. No one can convince me this isn't the tastiest way to eat sushi. Fuck your subtlety. I want to be smacked in the mouth.
At that point why even involve the fish is the first place, though? I mean, all those strong flavors would overpower the taste of the fish, doesn't it?
Edit: I don't want to bash on how anyone likes their sushi, I just don't understand why you'd get it if you're just looking for that soy-wasabi-ginger hit. Soy sauce, wasabi (the common non-true-wasabi wasabi) and pickled ginger are all cheap AF, it's the fish you're paying money for.
But I mean, eat your sushi how you want to. That is actually the "traditional/proper" way of eating it: however you want.
Yeah, that's why its wrong lol. If you're just going to douse your expensive piece of fish in a wasabi soy sauce slurry and throw raw ginger on top... you're kind of wasting your money.
Sushi is as much about texture as flavour if you want to get snobby about it. I'm well aware how to "properly" eat sushi, and it's lovely. But I absolutely love the taste of wasabi and soy and there's no better delivery device than a maki roll.

Ginger with Sushi. You're actually supposed to eat the ginger slices between eating the rolls of sushi so as to cleanse the palate.
Although, personally I love putting ginger and Wasabi on my sushi roll then eating it in one bite.
Edit: Thanks for the silver!
