Used to be a Sushi chef. I loved sharpening my sushi knives.
A quick test is to take the blade and touch it to your thumbnail. If it 'sticks' a little, it's really sharp. When sharpening, I usually start with the 'perpendicular thumb test' as you described, and when it felt like I had a good wire edge, I'd move to a finer stone and do the thumbnail test.
I always started out with a thicker stone, like 500-1000 grit (IIRC), then finished with a 10,000 grit stone.
