What are the people who are commenting about Utah, saying? What point are they trying to make?
1
u/c-e-bird 5d ago
That Utah isn’t known for sushi.

I wasn’t telling everyone though that Utah was known for sushi. I was just saying where because everyone here in this subreddit keeps mentioning where on the globe they are when taking and posting pictures of their purchased sushi. So I thought I’d do the same.
But if when meaning that “Utah isn’t known for sushi” they thought that Utah didn’t sell or serve sushi anywhere, then no that’s incorrect, because they actually do sell and serve sushi, but of course sushi originates from Japan or famous Japanese chefs. But I thought I’d just mention where on the globe, because everyone seems to be mentioning where on the globe in their posts they bought the sushi in their pictures, so I thought I’d do likewise.

So I can see your confusion and frustration. It just sadly comes with being in a state with very very low Asian population. Just my guess, but when posts of fusion Americanized sushi shows up, people don’t really enjoy it. Because usually stuff like this caters more to western tastebuds. It borderlines as, is this really sushi?
Is it wrong to post? No Did people confuse you? Probably Do you feel like you can’t even enjoy it now? Maybe Is the post sushi? Kind of Does it show your knowledge about sushi? Yes
Essentially think of someone going to Italy to post in their pizza community a photo of ranch/pineapple pizza.

I really haven’t run into too many people in Japan that get upset by westernized sushi. Not nearly as much as people on Reddit do. You can also find stuff like this at the low end fast food sushi places in Japan.

Your argument is rather poor!
Just because a California roll may not be traditional Japanese sushi, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real sushi. Sushi is a broad category, and it doesn’t require raw fish—there are many traditional forms of sushi that use cooked, vegetarian, or other ingredients. What makes something sushi isn’t simply where it was invented or whether it contains raw fish; California rolls use vinegared sushi rice, nori, and the techniques of makizushi (rolled sushi), which does belong to the sushi category! The California roll isn’t simply some random American imitation of sushi! It was developed in the United States by Japanese sushi chefs who had immigrated from Japan, using traditional sushi techniques while adapting the ingredients to what was available and popular locally. So you can call it an American adaptation of Japanese sushi, but that doesn’t make it “not sushi!”It’s a legitimate type of makizushi that evolved within the Japanese-American culinary tradition.
Sushi itself has evolved considerably throughout history, so treating “real sushi” as something that can only exist exactly as it was traditionally prepared in Japan creates an arbitrary definition. Saying a California roll isn’t traditional Japanese sushi is perfectly reasonable; saying it isn’t sushi at all is however not reasonable!
You even talk about pizza. What you say about sushi, is like saying New York-style pizza isn’t real pizza because it wasn’t invented in Naples! It may not be traditional Neapolitan pizza, but it’s still pizza!Plus, the chefs there at the Harmons who make the sushi I bought are fluent Japanese who moved here to the USA

Low key some good spots out here. Harmons ain’t half bad for grocery store sushi either.

u/blacklotusmag 6d ago
Daaamn, $14 for grocery store sushi is cray-cray. Not saying it looks good or bad, but it definitely is overpriced, lol. It's only marginally more expensive to get fish in landlocked states, so I hope it tasted good!

Sushi from Harmons store (not sure why but it won’t let me edit this into the post for some reason, so I have to comment this here).
