The essence of sushi and misunderstandings abroad: Sushi - 1) (Essay)

Japanese food is becoming increasingly popular in Western countries such as the UK and France. As a result, sushi restaurants are also popular, but people who go there often end up feeling disillusioned. It's sticky and oily, and people who eat this kind of sushi never want to eat sushi again.

However, such sushi restaurants are often fakes run by Chinese or Koreans, not Japanese people. They imitate sushi only in appearance and contribute to lowering the reputation of sushi overseas (as well as other Japanese foods). Many British and French people who visit Japan after eating real sushi often become addicted to sushi and Japanese food.

What is the appeal of sushi that Chinese and Koreans don't understand? It all comes down to the culture and techniques developed to pursue eating raw fish thoroughly. The raw fish toppings, rice, soy sauce, wasabi, pickled ginger, green tea, and customer service all work together to create the deliciousness of sushi. No single part should be overlooked.

Therefore, if sushi restaurants overseas do not understand this point, the meal will not be sushi but an imitation of sushi.

寿司の本質と海外での誤解：寿司―１）（エッセイ）

イギリスやフランスなどの欧米諸国でも、日本食が浸透してきている。そのため寿司レストランも流行っているが、そこに食べに行った人たちは、幻滅感を味わうことが多い。べっとりしている、油っぽい・・・こんなのを食べた人たちは、二度と寿司を食べたくないと思うらしい。

だが、そのような寿司レストランは、日本人ではなく中国人や韓国人が経営する偽物であることが多い。彼らは、形だけ寿司の真似をして、海外における寿司の評価を下げることにだけ貢献している。（ほかの日本食も同様だ。）実際その後日本を訪れたイギリス人やフランス人が本物の寿司を食べて寿司、ひいては日本食のとりこになることも多い。

中国人や韓国人には解らない寿司の魅力とは何だろうか？それは生魚を食べることをとことん突き詰めた文化と技法に尽きる。生魚のネタ、シャリ、醤油、ワサビ、ガリ、緑茶、接客・・・これらが一体となって寿司の美味しさを演出するの��ある。どの一つ一つのパーツもおろそかにしてはならない。

だから海外での寿司レストランも、この点をしっかりつかんでいなくては、寿司ではなく、寿司もどきのミールになってしまうのだ。

inspired by this tiktok

shouto would’ve never thought he’d end up here, but here he is– in a pristine hospital room, your barely three hours old baby girl nestled tight against your chest, staring at him and you both intently.

it’s not that he's never wanted this, he’d just never let his mind wander to a family of his own. even if he and his father are now on good terms — somewhat — he’d never thought he’d be able to experience this.

he takes another piece of sushi with the chopsticks, carefully holding his hand under it so that it doesn’t fall or the soy sauce doesn’t drip. “here,” he says gently. you open your mouth with a resounding aaaaah!, happy to be pampered by him, then chomp on the sushi happily. “dude, I missed this so much,” you moan, gesturing for him to come closer so that you can press a peck on his cheek.

“don’t call me dude,” he complains, but he’s smiling. how could he ever be actually mad at you when you’ve given him everything he’s never allowed himself to dream of? “you just gave birth to my kid. s’not fair.”

looking down at aiko, you gently tap your finger on her nose, laughing when she scrunches it. “I promise you were worth it, baby girl, but it was torture. I can’t wait for you to be able to eat sushi, you don’t know what you’re missing out on.”

shouto takes a piece of sashimi this time, dipping it into soy sauce and sweet and sour sauce. he went all out, buying what looks to be at least half the restaurant’s worth of food for the day– not that you want to complain, obviously. you haven’t eaten raw fish in nine months and you have all the intentions to make up for the lost time. you hum as he feeds it to you, resting your back against the pillows of your bed. “after finishing all of this, I’m passing out,” you announce.

your husband nods, “seems fair to me.” he looks over to your daughter, whose eyes are no longer as focused as before. “I think she wants to join you in the land of dreams, too,” he whispers gently.

you pout. “our first mommy-daughter time and she’s falling asleep. she’s already so tired of me.”

shouto laughs at that, because even thinking about someone being able to be tired of you is so unbelievable to him that it’s funny. “give her to me,” he says after his laughter dies down, setting the chopsticks on the plate, “I’ll tuck her in the crib.”

you comply, gently lowering her in his arms, where she settles without a fuss. your husband gets up to go over the crib, discreetly looking under her little pink beanie to see a few tufts of red sprinkled on her mostly white hair.

she looks like fuyumi, he briefly thinks, smiling. she may be now, but I hope she grows up to be her mother's lookalike. delicately brushing the pad of his index finger across her face, he traces her little nose, the lids of her closed eyes and the curves of her cheeks — he can already picture a little girl with your eyes, your nose, your smile and your tenderness. the mere thought brings tears in his eyes, and he moves to lay her in the crib, tucking her in her little blanket.

he looks back to you, now scarfing down your sushi like there’s no tomorrow, and he thinks that he’s never been more in love in his entire life. “thank you,” he chokes, bending down to press a kiss on your temple. you look at him, confused, cheeks full of food like a hamster’s.

“wha?” you manage, gulping down another few bites of sashimi. “for giving birth to her,” he explains, “for putting up with me.”

“aw, sho,” you coo, smushing his face with your free hand, pecking his lips. “you’re so cute when you get all mushy on me.”

he can’t deny the obvious, so he just hums. “whatever you say, beautiful.”

“when are your parents passing by?”

“could be any moment now. last I heard, they were in the car waiting for mum to get everything– she made you muffins.”

you smile, melted by your mother-in-law’s thoughtfulness. having lost your own mother when you were just a kid, rei todoroki has taken it upon herself to fulfill the role that until meeting shouto had been empty. despite everything that had happened to her, she was always kind to you, treating you more like a second daughter rather than just her son’s girlfriend-then-wife.

you chomp on another nigiri, closing your eyes at the taste. “that’s it, I’m never getting pregnant ever again. to spend another nine months avoiding this…”

your husband bursts out laughing — a rather rare sight, even for such happy moments like these. “don’t laugh at me! you were eating raw salmon behind my back this whole time, so you just don’t understand!”

he gasps dramatically. “so you knew!”

“of course I knew, you traitor! you said you would’ve waited until I wasn’t pregnant anymore to eat it, but I found the box of it once when I was cleaning the kitchen! how could you do that to me–”

a knocking comes from the door, a head peeking through the small opening of it. “are we interrupting something?” fuyumi asks, a slight tease in her tone.

the bickering dies down immediately as rei and enji enter the room too, small smiles on their faces, endeavor’s hands busy with a plate full of muffins that he promptly leaves at your bedside. “everything went well, I hope?” he asks politely. it’s almost comical seeing him use such a mild tone, as he’s so big and buff that he takes up almost half the room.

your husband nods for you, “it was less gorey than I had feared.”

your face blanches. “wow, honey, what did you expect that could’ve possibly been worse than that?”

“don’t listen to him,” rei waves a hand in the air, “he’s always preparing for the worst. but it is true that you’re looking pretty good to have just given birth, I must say.”

fuyumi claps her hands. “yeah! you’re not looking like you just got split open in two. I’m pretty sure that when my time comes, I’ll look like a truck just ran me over.” she looks around, carefully eyeing the crib, “now, where’s my favourite niece?”

“your only niece,” shouto corrects, laughing. he carefully takes aiko from her cot and shows her off to his family. fuyumi gets closer without a second thought, cooing at the newborn, while rei and enji stay quite aback– you wonder if the last baby they ever held was your husband when he was little.

fuyumi coos and awws, bursting out crying when shouto lowers the cap on your daughter's head and shows her the little tufts that are her hair. "she looks like me!", she wheezes as your husband lowers aiko in her arms, rei and enji getting almost unnoticeably closer.

they all stare at her in silence before you break it, looking at rei. "would you like to hold her?"

she hesitates, her husband stilling at her side, but fuyumi doesn't have it– she hands her your bundle of joy happily, and the way your mother-in-law relaxes so quickly is almost heartbreaking. enji bends down quietly to have a better look at her, and you think you see his eyes tearing up.

he sniffles, looking at you. "you did a really good job," he manages. "she's perfect."

ACT 1, SCENE 4: blue lock headcanons

shidou would view traditionally ugly creatures as strangely cute. it's not a disgusting cockroach, it's a silly little bug with eyelashes as long as his. no, he's not going to let go of that scraggly one-eyed cat that likely has rabies. it looks too sweet to be abandoned on the streets. his dream childhood pet was definitely a piranha.

aiku wears band t-shirts without knowing the actual music group. no, he does not listen to sex and the pistols, he just thought the design looked very cool. would also wear lana del rey merchandise just to impress the ladies. the only song he realistically knows is west coast, and even then he's only heard it at a random sushi restaurant.

reo would have stereotypical rich people problems. he can't decide if he should bring his chauffeur and valet or actually drive the car himself for your upcoming date. also spends at least one hour seriously pondering over which gucci silk pattern tie looks better on him. trick question, they're both the exact same shade.

shidou steals your covergirl perfect point eyeliner because he thinks it looks way better on him. also a big fan of body glitter and super vulgar eyeshadow palette names. his favorite hue so far is that one hot pink fuchsia that literally burns your eyes with its brightness. nothing is too neon with this man.

ness is the epitome of the sunshine-turned-unhinged-maniacal-killer trope. he would be the bestest boy, but if someone even lays a single hand on you, he’s already plotting their murder. eerily good at hiding bodies but would never divulge his secrets in fear of scaring you off.

shidou would walk unashamedly to the women’s clothing section of the general department store. would never be embarrassed by the bra sizes. you have a double D? he’s already trying three of the cup sizes on just to see if he can get you a comfortable one. if you’re part of the itty bitty titty committee, he wouldn’t judge either. this man loves femininity in all its full glory.

aryu exclusively uses dior beauty. he would rather die than use a generic drugstore makeup brand. sometimes you wonder if he's secretly a dermatologist because this man knows the exact shade, tint, and quality of product for every possible skin tone and type. also very passionate about the controversies behind animal testing and parabens. would be exceedingly picky when it comes to anything he smears on his face (think jeffree star but without the problematic issues.)

sae has his phone screen set to default wallpaper. he only has the translator app downloaded, and that's about it. his personal trainer takes care of all the rest of his stats. after he started dating you though, he kept pictures of you in his private photo albums.

noa cannot tell a white lie to save his life. if he doesn't know something, he will not know something. he doesn't see the point in hiding that. sometimes has trouble reading the room, so you need to remind him that brutal honesty and pure rationality aren't always the way to go. he does become more conscientious after that.

bachira used to draw crayon portraits of all the imaginary monsters he saw at night. scared the shit out of his parents because they thought he was hallucinating (he actually was.) nowadays, he's a lot tamer because you force him to take his meds.

isagi is, in fact, the number one mind reader and manipulator throughout the entire series. this man is clairvoyant, psychic, and telepathic all packaged into one. sometimes his right ear twitches, and he just knows someone is talking about him behind his back. unfortunately, all of this occurs in his head, so no one on the outside world actually knows about his sixth sense.

rin was absolutely bombarded with valentine's chocolates last year, but when he sorted through the entire pile and realized you hadn't given him one, he returned them all to their respective senders. will refuse any form of sweets unless it came directly from you. you need to be there physically to hand him the box.

kaiser writes, thinks, and speaks entirely in german even if no one else can understand him. he secretly can speak english but chooses not to because he absolutely hates anglicization. refuses to compromise his own language and culture just to fit in with the rest of the world. it's degrading. if he had it his way, german would be the new lingua franca. definitely thinks translation is for dummies. what do you mean you're not already bilingual? you better run, not walk, to that little green owl app. does use his foreign accent to make you feel flustered though. has a voice kink but in a non-traditional sort of way. you have to be the one turned on by his voice. only then will he start feeling it.

yukimiya loves it when you lose your shit. one time a jerk cut you off in traffic, and you started aggressively cursing. he fell in love with you right there on the spot. it was something about the fire in your eyes and the way you refused to take any attitude from the other party. that self-assertiveness you exhibit is so empowering.

aiku takes you out to karaoke bars just to hear you sing. you look so pretty under the purple disco lights, belting your little heart out to the rock lyrics. sometimes he has to take a minute to just appreciate how lucky he is to have you.

nagi didn't know that you have to actively check and update your email inbox. he had no clue school even started until one day the principal called his parents over his thirteen student absences. he thinks it's a headache to even get out of bed and put his fingers on his laptop keyboard. since when was the distance between his arrow cursor and the search bar that wide? it looks too long for him to reach. maybe he should just do this tomorrow.

reo does not know what saving money is. the first time you asked him for a promo code, he looked at you as if you had just spouted a strange language. when you showed him your little wallet full of cut-out coupons, he literally had to hold them up to the light and closely inspect them. it was definitely a moment of enlightenment.

sae likes anklets, especially the super thin gold chain ones. something about the way it brushes against his bare leg when you sleep beside him drives him out of his mind. he's also a sucker for subtle jewelry as evidenced by his necklace and wrist bands.

otoya practically lives for instant gratification. he would be guilty of love bombing. loses interest quickly, but sometimes wishes he could actually commit for once. football is important to him because it is one of the only activities he has consistently practiced for over a decade.

karasu is down bad for anyone who can actually outsmart him. you got a higher mark than him on the recent exam? damn, his heart just beat a little faster. spaces out in a love-filled haze whenever you ramble on about your nerdy little subject interests. he is a sapiophile through and through. intelligence just does it for him.

loki is the type of person who absolutely demolishes your self-esteem, and yet you still cannot bring yourself to hate him. when people say god has his favorites, they mean this man right here. he would be an innately talented genius while simultaneously being the most humble human being in existence. at this point, it's not his problem. it's a you problem. try harder next time.

chris is very similar to a neurosurgery resident. he has the largest self-entitled ego in existence. not a single day goes by when he doesn't remind you that he is, in fact, one of the highest ranking football players in the world. you can't say anything about it though because he has rightfully earned his arrogance. i mean, what are you going to use against him? his grueling hours of blood, sweat, and tears? this man works harder than the devil himself. in fact, he is the devil.

rin is the type to get emotionally attached to the most ordinary objects ever. he collects batteries and keeps a separate drawer as a graveyard for them once they die. the triple A ones get a special funeral since they're so hard to find. he just can't bring himself to let go of objects that no longer serve a purpose (just like his relationship with sae, sorry not sorry.)

hiori cannot go to bed unless it is absolutely dark. the curtains have to be closed. the door has to be locked. everything has to be drowned in pitch black. the reason he does this is because he still has flashbacks from that tiny strip of light underneath his bedroom door. his parents would argue all night when they thought he had gone to sleep. it still haunts him to this very day.

nagi wishes he could be a cat. sleeping all day and sunbathing on the rooftop seem like great ways to spend his life. unfortunately for him, he is not a cat. when he dies though, he wants to be reincarnated as one. either that, or a rock.

rin snores like a whole power drill at night. sae secretly hates his brother for that but can’t bring himself to wake him. whenever the itoshi family goes on vacation, ear plugs are not an option but a necessity.

chigiri knows ventriloquism. he used to play with his sister's dolls and make up character voices for each of them. definitely uses it as a party trick or as a way to make you laugh when you've had a bad day.

sae always keeps his feelings to himself. sometimes he finds it easier to rant to you than others, but then he almost always ends up retracting back into himself after realizing just how much he's revealed. he hates being emotionally slutty.

ness is the big scary dog in his relationship with kaiser, not the other way around. everyone thinks kaiser is the intimidating one, but ness wears a leash for a reason. one of them is the chihuahua, and the other one is a rottweiler. you can already guess who is who.

reo was having a mental breakdown in his limousine one time, but he ran out of his usual luxury aloe vera lotion tissues. instead of buying more, he took out his cheque-book and ripped out the pages to dry his tears. money is just paper to him. it can be recycled (no, it can't.)

loki is the type to show you a sweet and heartwarming smile before pulling out the most atrocious uno card combination in existence. i'm talking reverse, wild card, skip, draw 2. you sat there for twenty-five minutes trying desperately to draw a green. by the time you were done, he only had one card left. (screw you, loki.)

niko draws his own manga whenever he doesn't like how the official plot ends. if the canon ever diverges from the way he imagined it in his own head, he will draft his own fan fiction instead. one time, he rewrote an entire shonen jump series just to bring his favorite character back to life (*cough cough* said character wears a blindfold.)

karasu is definitely the "um, actually..." type of student. he will always have a rebuttal on hand. the truth is never black-and-white with this man, and he will argue both sides if it furthers his own agenda. he reads the encyclopedia front and back every night just so he can pull out a random arbitrary fact to win an argument some time in the near future.

shidou had a bad habit of chewing pens as a child until one day it finally exploded in his mouth. from then on, he vowed only to chew glittery gel pens. that way when it exploded in his mouth, his tongue would be stained a bright, shimmery purple. if you ever got him a scented gel pen pack, his life would finally be complete.

rin cannot differentiate between colors. if you asked him to find the difference between bubblegum pink and cotton candy pink, he would not know. to him, seven colors is already a lot to memorize. when he was a child, he only drew pictures with a single color because it was less of a hassle that way.

otoya used to think lime green was the most aesthetically pleasing color in existence. almost considered dying his hair that shade until karasu told him that girls don't actually like guys who look like neon highlighters. still wishes he did it though. he wants to glow in the dark.
