Just returned from Japan. Japan is the best in sushi making. It’s hard to come close to authentic Japanese cuisine in the United States. I went to some restaurant in the Narita airport and their sushi was excellent.

Yes, I too had the same experience you described on my initial taste of cheap supermarket sushi. Thanks to your description here and the entertaining video, I’m looking forward to trying sushi in Japan. Thanks for the post!

Of course! This is precisely the reason why I am so hesitant to eat sushi (and patronize other Japanese restaurants) outside Japan, because I have lived there for 5 years and know what good Japanese food is about. It simply is so hard to replicate, and there are more times I was disappointed than not. I have this idea that proximity to the ocean is a big criterion; when I was in Buffalo, I found no Japanese restaurants able to match, and only when I was in Boston did I stumble upon one that was close to the Japanese standard I now miss quite a bit.
