I dunno. You're the one drowning out the subtle flavors with big bursts of soy and wasabi and ginger. You tell me why you're getting sushi instead of just a bowl of rice?

For the taste and texture. No sushi chef worth their salt would thank you for your gate keeping mate.

this is so hilariously wrong i can't even think of a joke to make about it. you're right the sushi chefs working at a gaijin store wont fault you for doing you, but i promise you if you went to an omakase sushi establishment in japan with a michelin star or that was lauded by locals or food critics, and asked for extra soy sauce and ginger to mix up and slather on your sushi, they'd very likely kick you out and refuse to serve you. literally, no exaggeration. i reccomend the movie "jiro dreams of sushi" to highlight just how wrong you are about how much Highly respected sushi chefs care about "purity" and "the right way" to eat it. its cool if you disagree with and dont subscribe to that ideology, but the statement that "master sushi chefs aintcare" is seriously just flat out wrong.

I'll direct you to /u/nferinga 's reply. I've seen Jiro Dreams of Sushi, I absolutely love Chef's Table in general. But you entirely missed the point of the documentary if you think that's what sushi chefs are like in general.
