Sushi and Sashimi…. Am I required to eat?

Am I required to eat Japanese food like sushi and sashimi?  To be honest I do not like these SUSHI and SASHIMI but what to do? I cannot say no. For almost 3 weeks of working in a Japanese kitchen almost everyday they are asking me to try these food. Of course I tried but I didn't eat all just 1 bite and I hide and then i throw. I do not know,the taste is just okay for me but my mind doesn't like it.
As we all know Sashimi's are fresh raw seafood, That is why I do not like it. Served with only a dipping sauce depending on the fish, and simple garnishes such as shiso and shredded daikon radish. And the Sushi the reason why I do not like it is because of the way of preparing it using the bare-naked hand. because sushi cannot be make nicely if you are wearing hand gloves or plastic glove. I eat a lot of sushi if I am the one who made it but if somebody else? never mind. It's always in my mind these is the reason why I do not like some of the food. Its not only the taste but the way of preparing the food is big deal for me.
Sushi is made from Japanese rice cooked and flavored with vinegar salt and sugar, rolled with seaweed and topped with vegetable, fruits, sashimi etc.
