“You think you know how to eat sushi? You don’t know anything about eating sushi,” said Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, carving into a slab of tuna for a tasting at his soon-to-open outpost at the new Renaissance Downtown Hotel Dubai.

Though the Hiroshima-born chef, who trained in traditional sushi-making and kaiseki – a hyper-precise style of Japanese fine dining that’s equal parts cuisine and art form – is known for sometimes bending culinary conventions, he has a much less tolerant vision of how sushi is meant to be eaten. His hot take? Even before you pick up the chopsticks, you’re probably already doing it wrong.
