Japanese food is as unique as it is exotic. Dublin boasts some excellent authentic traditional Japanese
restaurants, where you may choose normal seating or dine the
traditional Japanese style - on the floor.
Japanese Sushi is definitely the most famous dish outside of Japan, and one of the most popular dishes among the Japanese themselves.
Sushi comes in many forms: the classical nigiri sushi (small rice balls with fish and other small pieces of food on top), gunkan sushi (seafood in small cups made of sushi rice and seaweed), norimaki (sushi rolls), temaki sushi (sushi rice, seafood and other food in cones made of seaweed), chirashi sushi (seafood spread over sushi rice), inari sushi (sushi rice in small bags of deep fried tofu) and many more. But one ingredient is always present: sushi rice, cooked Japanese rice flavoured with sushi vinegar.
Japanese food restaurants in Dublin enjoy an esteemed clientele so reservations are essential.
One final word, in case you get tempted to practise some Japanese table talk. The proper Japanese drinking salutation is “Kampai”. Whatever you do, avoid using "chin chin" when drinking a toast, since in Japanese this expression refers to the male genitals. Don’t say you weren’t warned…
