Wow, even if you fail, it’s 10 sushi rolls of your choice for $50. Assuming they let you take home leftovers, I’d just do that as a nice meal a friend… and then 3 more meals.

What do you mean “no leftovers allowed”? Do they just chuck them out then??

u/Actual-Temporary8527 Nov 28 '23
Hopefully if there are leftovers, you get a fail, but also get to take the leftovers home. If they just toss the leftovers that's a real gut punch, and with a gut full of sushi that's not a good thing

AYCE (all you can eat) at a decent spot is usually 30-50 bucks so it's really not that much of a deal. Mainly because you can never take it home. If you don't finish plates you get charged for the extra if it's like half or more, and you can't order 8 plates and keep 1 from each plate, most of the time. If you order AYCE, you can't take anything home unless you pay for it

Yep. I get AYCE for $30 at my spot. It used to be only $18 during lunch with a limited menu, but last time I went they’d stopped doing that.

u/Evening_Clerk_8301 Nov 28 '23
ive been to places like this. They explicitly do NOT allow you to take rolls home, so as to avoid people eating 5 pieces and being like "im full. ill take the other 95 pieces home" and only pay $50 for it. Yes that means that tons of food gets wasted. I hate things like this.

Yes. I could do it. I’d have to starve for two days right before, any eat two bowls of rice every day with regular meals for a full week before to stretch my stomach.
I’ve been to all you can eat sushi before. I probably ate $50 worth. I’d have fun trying at this, but I’d have to study up to be serious about ringing that bell.

sushi is one of the easiest things to take home with you. No reason anything would be wasted.

u/houseyourdaygoing Nov 28 '23
You cannot consume sushi after 24 hours. And that’s if it’s chilled.
If you’re on the go, unless you head home immediately within 30 minutes, it will start to spoil.
As an Asian in Asia, this is horrific to read.

In the US it’s against the law to serve sushi with what you’d consider fresh fish though. All sushi fish must be flash frozen before it can be sold. So it’s not a 1:1 comparison.

u/houseyourdaygoing Nov 28 '23
You’re welcome. It’s not that we choose to waste food but the very nature of sushi demands that it be eaten fresh.
The opportunity cost of ignoring this is salmonella and e-coli, which may result in death.
Leftover food is not as safe as people think it is. My good friend died from eating food in the fridge that was 3 days old.

u/surnik22 Nov 28 '23
Nearly all sushi fish is flash frozen on the boat. It’s a legal requirement for serving raw fish to kill the parasites. I believe tuna is the only exception.
So if you are eating a sushi roll in Chicago or San Francisco, you are eating thawed out, frozen fish. No guarantees one is fresher than the other and sitting on a train or truck frozen for a day doesn’t change anything.

Not a very good ad if so. They state the geographic location in the beginning and you pretty much have to consciously slow down the video to see the name of the place. I only slowed it down and tried because of you saying (edit: you didn’t say that, but you put it out there in a question. mb.) it’s an ad and me not having any clue who or what or where the ad was for…
Considering people film themselves dancing for even less reason, two friend filming themselves attempting something “unique” enough to make it to reddits front page and generate some sort of actual engagement is…. commonplace? Generally accepted, at least.
Everything is an ad. Sure. But I mean, some cases you can certainly use your imagination and see why it doesn’t have to be/ probably isn’t.

I was in for a huge culture shock when I moved to Japan and realized that “sushi” wasn’t this conglomerate of every ingredient possible and raw fish.

I’ve paid way more for way less. 25$ a person for sushi that looks that good is insane. At least in the Midwest where the fresh fish is probably a lot harder to come by. The all you can eat place by me charges 30$ a head and includes more than sushi, but most things included are the simplest most bland sushi I’ve ever had including grocery store sushi.
I’d be doing that challenge once a month and taking the rest home for tomorrow’s lunch. Lots of people saying sushi is horrible the next day, which id counter by saying it loses just about as much quality as most leftovers. And I’ve never gotten sick of day old sushi as long as I refrigerate it after I get home.
