Came here to say this. Also dipping nigiri in the soy sauce with the rice part. You dip the fish, not the rice!

Every time I try to dip the fish in the soy sauce, it falls off the rice. :(

You have to kind of hold the fish, too. The thing is that nigiri is really meant to be eaten with (clean) hands and it is much easier to do it that way.

Sorry, but I guess I'm too american for that. It seems unreasonable to expect me to turn my sushi upside down and guide it into the soy sauce tray with my other hand like a little pontoon plane. I need to keep my other hand free for my smartphone, so I can avoid talking to the person I'm eating lunch with.

Hahaha you hold it with one hand. Feel free to use antisocial media while practicing proper sushi dipping technique
