It takes years to become a sushi master, it's not just something you can pick up, and great sushi is as much about how the sushi master handles the ingredients, as the quality of the ingredients themselves.
Here's a video that proves the point. Two pieces of nigiri, one made by a novice and one by a sushi master are first placed in a wind tunnel, then examined with an MRI scanner.
Both techniques tests prove just how well the sushi master's nigiri is made, showing how delicately he handles the rice, so as to get the best possible flavour out of it.
Okay so unless you're eating your sushi in a gale, perhaps you don't care too much about the first test, but it's fascinating to understand more about the sushi master's craft. The clip is taken from a mid-noughties programme called Begin Japanology.
Talking of sushi masters, take a look at this 12-step-guide to eating sushi from possibly the most famous sushi master of all, Jiro Ono.
