I suspect a lot of the satisfaction for western users is they only use them when they eat sushi. Which of course is simply delicious.

  isn't sushi intended to be eaten by hand?

    I believe that conventionally nigiri and hand rolls are meant to be eaten by hand, and (cut) maki rolls with chopsticks.

    I mean back in the day maybe yes, but nowadays even in Japan no-one eats sushi by hand.

      "No one" is a bit hyperbolic. It's not super common, but some people do. I think the most common place where it happens is high-end sushi restaurants.

        Yeah it’s a hyperbole for sure. But on a general day-to-day life you just don’t see it.

  I've used chopsticks on a variety of stuff. I guess the answer to that question depends on whether you own your own pair of chopsticks or if you just get them as part of your meal.
