Many people underestimate the importance of the temperature of the neta when it comes to sushi. A good itamae keeps track of the temperature of the neta, ensuring that it is at its optimum temperature to pair with the shari. Sitting at the sushi counter allows one to fully appreciate the effort put in by the itamae. Imagine having to remember what each customer is having, the temperature of the neta, which direction to place the sushi for each customer, the likes and dislikes of each customer, which part of the meal each customer is at, the list goes on and on. Imagine having to do this while inebriated, due to the copious amounts of alcohol offered by clients

It might be #burpplesushimonth, but we should not forget the itamae behind every piece of sushi
