Someone told me once that the concept of eating sushi rolls with chopsticks as actually a Western idea. Apparently most Japanese people eat them with their hands. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

I see chopsticks more often than fingers here, but I don't think either way is more correct.

Ahaha, that video.  A guy in one of my classes my freshman year of college sent me that video when he found out I was planning a summer trip to Japan, and got so offended that I laughed at it.  How dare I mock the Japanese way of life?
