One time I was visiting Japan and ordered sushi at a restaurant there. The waitress couldn't believe it. She was like "ohhh? You like sushi?"

And I'm like yeah it's actually very popular in the US, which made her smile politely and say "oh really?"

After she brought me my food the waitress hung around to see if it would eat the sushi or if I'd be too grossed out. I poured a little dish of soy sauce and mixed wasabi in. When the waitress saw me dip my sushi in she giggled and said
"Ooh I see! You don' like sushi, you just like soy sauce!"

And I was like "n-no!" and grudgingly ate the rest of my sushi without soy sauce just to prove her wrong.

But actually sushi is much better with soy sauce and gently caress you if you're some kind of sushi purist who scorns people for dipping their sushi.

Oh, also: I hate to break it to you but American Sushi is superior to Japanese Sushi.

I like those crazy house specialty rolls that are more like burritos than sushi, just pile that poo poo high and feed it into my mouth
they're delicious and got good toppings, who gives a gently caress

Caterpillar roll is my favorite but I can only ever get one because they're like $13 each.

philadelphia rolls are pretty tasty

They used to be my favorite but gradually I've come to hate them. I think it has to do with restaurants putting in too much cream cheese.

Fun fact: it's better eat them with chopsticks so you don't get your fingertips in the soy sauce when you dunk your roll.

Yeah but South Koreans put that gross yellow spongy stuff in their rolls (eggs???) and it makes me gag.

"LAS VEGAS ROLL"

I bet they call it that because what happens in the las vegas roll stays in the las vegas roll and it looks exactly like that when you poo poo it out.

OP probably is that stupid.

Actually it's you who's wrong because American sushi is more flavorful and bigger than Japanese sushi.

Nah I've seen people there get legit bothered if you do certain things with chopsticks, like using them to pass things to another person's chopsticks. But that's only because it has a morbid symbolism, as people only do that during funeral rites with bone fragments after a cremation.

But they're more level-headed about explaining it

Maybe if they were smart they would keep eating utensils away from corpses and then chopsticks wouldn't remind them so much of dead people all the time. That's my hot take.

I assume he's talking about an all you can eat thing and people picking the fish off nigiri and leaving the rice which is obviously pretty ridiculous.

Also as far as your op goes I dunno what kind of sushi you were eating but for nigiri (the ones with fish on top of a bit of rice) you're not supposed to dunk the whole thing in soy sauce you're supposed to lift the fish off, dunk that, then put it back on and eat it. If you dunk the whole thing the rice absorbs so much soy sauce that it drowns out the pretty mild flavors of the fish, which is fine if that's what you want to do but imo kind of a waste for what is typically a pretty expensive food.

It was sushi rolls, not nigiri.

I don't mix wasabi with soy sauce to "honor the Japanese way" I do it because when its mixed with liquid you get more of the spiciness injected directly into your sinuses.
