That's 2 whole things. Steak is literally just cooked meat. One single thing. Sushi is far superior to steak by this logic.

It is not "just" you nigger. Try making good sushi yourself.

its not just rice shitwad

No, it isnt. “Sushi” literally means “vinegared rice”, you dont even need anything on top as long as the rice is vinegared.

>Washoku brainlets confusing sushi and neta

Also the rice is called shari or sushimeshi, sushi is the entire dish including the shari and neta

Does it have to be raw? why risk the parasitic worms in your testicles

Sushi is rice.

Fish is optional. And it doesn't have to be raw either.

Their instant noodles are the best I've had.

I like the oriental and soy sauce flavors, haven't tried others. But the broth is delicious and the noodles cook up really well. Highly recommend if you like instant noodles.

I never realized how important the rice was until I went to this really crappy "sushi" place that used plain rice. It was awful and made me appreciate real sushi more.

I honestly can't appreciate sushi unless it's fantastic, because I'm just so disappointed by how poorly the rice is prepared in most instances. It can be kinda tricky to do at home, doesn't always turn out perfect for me, but it's almost always significantly better than most neighborhood sushi joints.

The thing is, the popularity of big topped saucy rolls means that sushi places can kinda hide how lame their rice is. If you order nigiri or temaki though you will definitely notice. The rice is harder to get right than the fish in many cases. Take uni for instance. To serve uni as sushi you just buy it and pop it out of the tray. And this shit is expensive. But all a restaurant does it pop it out of the tray and put it on rice. And they charge a 300% markup. It's not worth it unless the rice (shari) really is good.

>Having a 100 to 100000 times mark up for a product, with the only value added is the fact that youll seem cultured for eating bland rice with vinegar

How did they get away with it?

And I dont just mean jiro and sons but the whole Sushi industry. 4 sushis with 10 cents worth of rice and possible 20 cents worth of chicken or 40-100 cents worth of fish would set you back 12 dollars here at the low end, possibly 50 dollars and the mid tier and 100 at the prestigeous sushi kitchens. How is that allowed? How have they not been investigated for price gauging? Theres a reason before it became a meme, sushi was essentially a quick and cheap energy snack for the japanese working poor.
