I’m sorry you find the Japanese restaurant food so bad here, but maybe you could share some of your recipes for your favorite authentic dishes. I’d love to try to make them authentic.

and when i want to eat sushi, i try to go somewhere where i know i’m getting actual sushi, not some crap put together. and yes, that means that it runs pretty expensive – it’s expensive to have fresh premium fish shipped to your restaurant every morning!

I’m Japanese living in the US.

Well, I understand what you are saying. But this is America and many Americans don’t usually like authentic international food. It’s not only Japanese food but also any international food from other countries. I was very surprised that when I asked Americans what kind of food they liked, many of them usually answered Italian food. But usually the italian food they refer to is not authentic Italian food but Americanized Italian food that has lot of sauce, cheeses and chicken breasts…

Well…but even in Japan, we do the same things. We don’t usually serve real authentic international food but we adjust the flavor to the flavor that many Japanese people want to like to have.

But as a Japanese living in the states, I can’t go to a typical sushi restaurant and Japanese restaurant that many Americans like to go to because the food is so horrible. And I really hate this all you can eat sushi idea. It’s just lower the status of sushi. It’s like every body can eat sushi any time because it’s so cheap and I don’t like the idea at all. I feel like eating all you can eat sushi is like eating some cheap crappy sushi. But that’s actually what it is! That’s why, I just hate to see all these all you can eat sushi restaurants everywhere. And I hate many Americans say, " Oh, I had sushi today" so proudly. Probably they think eathing sushi makes them feel like eating some expensive food. But to me, eating all you can eat sushi crap is eating a hamburger at McDonald’s.

Anyways, you are right that many Japanese restaurants in the US don’t have decent Japanese food. I don’t know why they want to add red and yellow bell peppers, mushrooms, brocolli, cauliflowers, zucchini, yellow squash, and other wenstern vegetables that we don’t use for Japanese dishes. I really hate that. And also instead of using ketchup for some Japanese dishe, many Americans love to use tomato sauce…a lot of tomato sauce. I really don’t understand that. But they like it so I guess it tastes good to them…..
