Obviously I didn't grow up eating eating sashimi and sushi ..so I didn't know about sushi eating etiquette until now. ie. one dips sashimi, fish side down abit in soy sauce and eats it with rice upside inside the mouth.
But dear mother drilled into me as a tot, about the chopstick use etiquette and how to set the table at home where we had chopsticks (everyday) but no chopstick rests:

I didn't start eating sushi and sashimi until I was in my mid-20's.
But I do use chopsticks when cooking and ...often even for baking sometimes for mixing small amounts of stuff or whipping something quickly. It's just habit...and another cooking tool.
