Default Eating sushi & sashimi with fingers

My experience with sushi is that ginger is just for cleansing the palate
between pieces. You don't mix it with the piece of sushi or sashimi you
are eating, so I suppose chopsticks are fine for the ginger. I don't do
wasabi, but it probably is used the same as the soy in that you never
soak the sushi with either. A simple, light dipping, which is easily
achieved with fingers.

Sashimi is never supposed to be eaten with the fingers.
