How to Serve these Sushi Sauce Recipes
I like to serve these sauces in two ways:
Squeeze bottles
They are easily available and you can drizzle sauce on Sushi rolls smoothly.
Pastry bags
If you dont have squeeze bottles you can use pastry bags to drizzle sauce on Sushi rolls. Just cut the tip and drizzle.

Sushi restaurants use Nikiri Soy Sauce. Original Soy Sauce is very strong in flavouir. It can kill the original flavour of Sushi.
