Aren't you being a bit obtuse and mystical? You could lift sashimi with
a fork or spear it and get all the essential texture and flavor even if
I would prefer chopsticks as I mentioned. In general, sushi is best
handled with chopsticks since manipulating it, like dipping in soyu, is
easier but I bet I could manage quite well with spoon and fork.
