Free Soy Sauce & Wasabi Packets (無料の醤油とわさび - Wasabi)
The convenient table hack of collecting free mini-packets of soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger ('Gari') stocked right next to the sashimi display. Worshippers must show restraint and take only what they need.
To ensure diners can enjoy fresh supermarket sushi instantly anywhere, shops provide free single-use condiment packets. It is a massive lifesaver for travellers wanting a high-quality, budget-friendly sushi picnic in a park.
After picking your sashimi platter, grab 1-2 soy packets and a few wasabi sachets from the dispenser boxes next to the display. Never take a huge handful, as taking excess free condiments is considered bad manners; take only your immediate share.
