“Geez, when did Japan do you wrong?”

During the 22 years that I lived there.

Bluefin tuna have been frozen for days by the time the boats make port.

And one does find himono on sushi.

People go on and on about how the Japanese love seafood and are so great with seafood...they can’t touch the northeast coast of the United States, and on up into Canada.

Sorry for your bad experiences. I was born there, but I must have missed whatever did you wrong. Sumimasen.

As for the Japanese and the Northeast US, seems like apples and oranges to me, or apples and apples or oranges and oranges. Both places are heavily involved with seafood, and respect it's proper preparation.

Your link was interesting - out of 34 different kinds of sushi, one used himono. As I said, I've never seen it myself.
