You can use regular old soy sauce for sashimi, but there is a difference when you use better soy sauce for stuff like that. If you eat a lot of sashimi, you start to appreciate those things I suppose. I had no idea until I came to Japan.
There is actually a soy sauce flavored ice cream in the town next to mine. I haven't tried it yet, but I might get around to it some day.
By the way, MissMisa, you're from England, right? Do people there generally not put soy sauce on rice, or is that just your personal preference?

Ah, I see. I want to try that ice cream haha, sounds a bit odd though.
Yeah I'm in England, I've never heard of doing that. Usually rice is plain, it comes as a side to a main meal. If it's on it's own, you can make it with egg or mixed with chicken, spring onions, etc to make it a main meal. (Actually, thinking about it, putting soy sauce on rice seems pretty nasty to me. It'd just be a soaked up pool of soggy rice :S ergh.)
I'm sure there will be people that do that, just none that I know of.
