Jap cuisine, like Italian, is overrated.
It's highly dependent on high quality ingredients, but doesn't do much to alter the nature of poorer quality stuff.
It has great presentation, but so does nouvelle cuisine, and in fact anything down to Momma's homemade apple pie; you just have to take time and trouble.
I like the aesthetics of wagashi for example, but is it cuisine? Debatably. It's more like art. You could make the fucking thing out of playdough and I would appreciate it the same.
Similarly, I like sushi, but if it was a selection of fish and seafood of various cuisines, from Maine lobster to Tasmanian oysters, I would like it just as much. So the Jap influence is inconsequential.
And that's my take on Japs.

But Marco is still a hypocritical pissant.
