Designer rolls can be fun. But most of them are pretty retarded. Spider rolls and California rolls in particular are bad.

I just wish they'd stop putting fucking spicy mayonnaise or Siracha in the sushi. The only spice used in sushi should be wasabi. Shits retarded as fuck.

i fuckin love spicy tuna rolls, but i can still appreciate the handrolls and sashimi and nigiri
it has to be real fuckin fresh for the traditional shit to be good, but it doesn't have to be that fresh with the westernized shit like cali rolls and such

Western roll cover the odor emitted from off-fish by spicy source but I wonder whether or not it has health concern.

>> No.9245942

Westernized sushi is pretty good however, healthwise it's comparable to McDonald's.

Also: I try to avoid restaurants that serve their sushi on bare wooden plates, boates,.. Seems pretty unhygeinic to me, I prefer regular plates of laminated (?) wood.

>> No.9246421

They're all good!

>> No.9246493

Not to say that all westernized sushi is bad, but it often misses the point of sushi by needlessly adding shit that only obscures the taste. So i'll usually just stick to nigiri but i'll try other shit if the place has a good reputation.

>> No.9246507

Which is fair enough if we're talking about regions where you can't get good fresh fish. In that case it makes sense to add other flavors.

I'm okay with both depending on the situation.

Hanging out with friends and we want to go grab some food real quick? Western sushi is totally fine.

Going on a date or friends and i deciding we want to meet up and have dinner? Nicer traditional sushi is what we go for.

Here in California(central valley) I can get

Or

And honestly the quality difference is hardly noticeable. Seems like everyone is cutting corners so their fish tastes the same

>> No.9246586

Traditional. Usually when i go out for sushi, I stick with maki rolls, sashimi, and nigiri. I'm not into all that sauce covered shit, or giant rolls that have way too much going on, you can't even taste the fucking fish.

If by westernized sushi, you mean 'reverse maki rolls' aka rice on the outside, then I prefer that because I like the texture of the rice being the first thing I feel.

If you mean the silliness that is avocado everywhere and california rolls, then traditional please. I'd get nigiri more often if rolls didn't have such a better fullness/cost ratio.

It depends on my mood honestly. Went out for lunch today and ended up having one weatern roll and a piece of Uni.

Biggest complaint is the overuse of spicy mayo or eel sauce. After a certain point is just overpowers the flavor.

All pieces and styles that are delicious.

Never been a fan of the deepfried ones or any pieces with crabstick or "Spicy Tuna".

But other than that most things I have tried,as long as they are properly prepared, have been tasty.

Favorite pieces: Broiled Sweet-Water Eel, Salmon, Black Snapper, Squid, Flounder, Sweet-Water Clam, Ikura and Monkfish Liver.

I like the best of both worlds.
I get a couple pieces or tuna, eel, and whatever fish sounds good that day. Then I get a western roll to fill me up. with warm sake and sweet tea or iced tea.

This mentality is silly imo. Eat what is tastiest, not what's most expensive. Why would you? You're not going to shit it out and resell it for profit; value in food is experiential, not cost-based.

Or shouldn't be. That being said, fake crab is gross as fuck. I made the mistake of ordering a crab roll that was basically "crab", mayo, and avocado, and I've never struggled to get something down as hard as I did there. Never again

I've never liked it myself. I don't like most Japanese things involving eggs though. My worst experience was orange, runny, "scrambled eggs" at a Japanese hotel in Kyoto.

I'm fine with westernized rolls as long as the fish and rice is good. Also no mayo or cream cheese, unless its some sort of spicy drizzle. I have a particular weakness for tempura battered spicy tuna
