Have you ever eaten sushi in Japan ? Trust me it’s not the same as what you get in the USA .
Of course you are correct about sushi in Japan. But the ultimate sushi for me would be made by a skilled sushi maker with brown rice. White rice in sushi is filler and detracts. I far prefer brown rice with sashimi on the side. Along with pickled ginger, soy sauce and wasabi on the side. Even some high quality vinegar. Fresh ginger sliced thinly is just as good as the pickled. I have deconstructed the sushi strategy and know it, understand it better than the Japanese
I could never figure out why, that if Japanese, Koreans etc are so smart, they are addicted to white rice
