You sound like a burakumin. I bet you thought it would be a great「tōshi」, how you would wake up to a warm, healthy asa gohan to start off your long day. Maybe, you even had a couple thoughts about all the other nifty little uses you could find for the thing, how it would help you cook healthier meals in general, shed a couple pounds off the old gut, boost your confidence around work and with the onna. Yeah, maybe that honesuki would start your life cooking again, wouldn't it? I can see your strained hands holding the box and reading through it carefully on Kappabashi street. A little bit pricey, but you're the type of guy who thinks everything is more than you can spend, aren't you. And look what happened to you. Look what the honesuki did to you. Fucked you over, and made you sharpen it like a useless bitch. You don't even fucking like yakitori. Piece of shit, you've been repeating those three words your whole life, haven't you. Yeah, how was work after that piece of shit fucked you over? I bet it was on your mind the whole day, you probably didn't say shit to nobody. Can't be telling people about your mistakes. How your little fix yourself plan, failed you. Don't want people to start thinking you're the failure. You're the piece of shit, all along. You don't want that do you? You don't want to be the piece of shit everybody secretly whispers about, do you? Was your otōsan a piece of shit like you? I bet he never had a honesuki. He had a onna, a sukiya-zukuri, a shūshin koyō. I bet it's boning you the fuck alive, isn't it. Comparing yourself to him. How one day when all the nikujū runs our of your life, you'll discover how you're nothing more than burnt shit to be scrapped off and thrown in the trash.

Let me clarify this for you baka gaijin. I exclusively prefer japanese knives because japanese hagane (that's "steel" for you baka gaijin) has the power of 10,000 samurai, the most feared warrior of all time. Also as has previously been pointed out, I am gay. Gay for japan (the best country), that is.

Allow me to conclude by thanking all my readers, please remember to click the share button if you liked this post.

Out of curiosity what's your decision tree look like when you decide whether to use "Jiro charges $300" vs "cheat day from veganism" vs "tipping" vs "15 minutes from closing time"?

Is it just random or do you account for time of day, day of the week, etc?

Here's some Jiro to help you in your quest.

If your favorite autentico osteria or obscure hole in the wall warung has started accepting credit cards, or a printed menu, it is time to find another place that serves proper food. If your favorite cha chaan teng starts offering napkins (especially if they do not charge you for them), leave immediately.

You may not have noticed it yet (although you probably have), but these are signs that the Yelp horde has already claimed another victim.

What are some other telltale cues that a restaurant has lost its way? This thread is only for discriminating diners who recognize and appreciate authenticity. Morally bankrupt cowards who go to the kind of Japanese ''''restaurants'''' that serve California rolls are invited to find another thread.

In flyover USA people prefer unagi because it's far from the ocean and unagi (that comes out of a plastic frozen bag) is the only sushi that isn't terrible tasting

Could be you're just not drinking fresh coffee

Some of the lower ranked coffees don't lose as much flavor after sitting on the shelf for a few weeks because they are not as delicate.

God tier beans like Costa Rican need to be drank within like 3, max 4 days of roasting, after which there's a very rapid decline in flavor

It's like, I'm eating Jiro's sushi and you're eating Jack Links beef jerky because you had some supermarket sushi once and it was gross

"The place around the corner" is never good unless you live in Japan.

Even if you live in a large coastal city there are probably at best a dozen to two dozen good sushi places. Chances are, "the place around the corner" isn't one of them.

No, baka, even that place you think is good, actually isn't. I promise.

Sincerely,

Someone who has been eating sushi since before it was cool, and has lived in Japan as well as traveled everywhere you've traveled, and then some

new?

All of it. When will the intimidating ipod-using glasses-wearing hipsters stop lining up ostentatiously to smugly eat this cool meme food?

But especially the hip cool california weeb rolls, because they have the avocado, the most fashionable of annoying pretentious hipster foods.

Japan isn't an actual country, but a collective hallucination by hentai perverts. And don't forget pearl harbor! It's like the 9/11 of weeaboos!

Why can't we just have normal food?

White people got defensive, is what happened.

Look what happens when you post Jiro, it's the same 100 neckbeards who were just saying "black people shouldn't be so sensitive slavery was over 150 years ago", and now they're going bananas over a Japanese chef not wanting to deal with customers who don't speak Japanese and this is worse than Pearl Harbor and the Bataan Death March combined.

Nah, he just does a lot of stuff that's different and is really disciplined. iirc his son just buys one tuna at the fish market and its got the fat content that old school sushi people would use while the trendy sushi places use fattier stuff for the sweetness.

He also apparently uses a specific kind of rice that his rice dealer only sells to him. In the movie he also admits that his guys in the back room do like 80% of the work, but its his methods that they do it with.

Its been a while since I've watched the movie, I may be making this up.

Global is a good knife, most of the time when hipsters shit on them, it's because it's not made of the New Steel Of The Week (last I checked it was M390 or maybe CTS-20CP, but definitely not VG-10 which is watered down americanised (or as you baka americans say, "americaniZed" [sic]) whitewashed soccer mom suburban tumblr garbage which no tacos de lengua eating, hole-in-the-wall patronizing True Foodie would ever DREAM of allowing in xer kitchen.

I'm not entirely sure I agree with such hipsters although they are not entirely wrong, in spirit.

However, as an expert in cutlery with honorary degrees from The Knife Forums dot com as well as Christian Cutlery Forum dot biz and Weeaboo Knives dot co dot jaypee, I can confirm, and certify and attest, that your pull-through sharpener marks you as the plebbiest of the pleb and through the power vested in me through the master forum administrators of all of the above websites plus chef knives to go, japanese knife forums dot com, korin, and aframes tokyo combined, I hereby command you to cease breathing henceforth, forsooth, and forwith, and verily drink bleach, baka gaijin.

USA does not do sushi. It only employs immigrants from 大東亜共栄圏 to make disgusting imitation sushi
