Is Sushi in the U.S. americanized?!
So I love Sushi! Well, the sushi here, so I was wondering what it is really like in Japan!. The sushi I usually have has some sort of sauce on them, they are sometimes deep fried, and some have like cream cheese and avacodo on them!. I love it, but it's probably not like how it is traditionally so I was just wondering!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sushi in America is definitely Americanized!. Things like the California Roll, Rainbow Roll, Tempura Roll, Spider Roll, and Washington Roll were made in America and designed so that more Westerners are more comfortable in sushi restaurants!. In Japan, sushi restaurants concentrate more on nigiri and sashimi, focusing more on the raw fish and less on maki, or the rolls!.
And by the way, sushi did not originate in Korea, it came from China as a way of preserving raw fish by salting it and placing it between layers of rice in a barrel!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Japan has many different types of Sushi!. Some with raw fish, some without, some wrapped with seaweed, some on a bed of rice, some rolled, some not!.!.!. The Sushi which you have described are most definitely Americanized!.
Many people (including many Japanese) do not like the authentic gourmet type sushi, for most of the toppings are usually still moving!. The fresher the better!. The fish melts in your mouth and there is no fishy smell or flavor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My husband went to Nagoya for two weeks!. Sushi is much fresher there, but very raw!. In most restuarants it's just the meat and rice, no sauce or cheese or avacado!. Everything comes on a converyor belt on different colored plates!. You take what you want, and at the end, they add the plates you have picked up for your tab!. Pretty neat, huh!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
YES!. But the japanes are beginning to adopt westernized versions such as california roll!. I find it a pity but hey it does taste really good :-))
And by the way sushi originates from Korea not Japan, as many people tend to think!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
