| I love sushi, aslong as it's not vegetarian, because that stuff is horrible. other than the fish though, i'm not really into japanese food. i prefer korean to japanese noodles and thai to japanese curry. edit: talking about wasabi.. has anyone everplayed the game with four candy balls, where one is filled with wasabi? So everyone eats one.. and one turns out to be.. not so lucky? :P |
| I only eat it once in a while but not all sushi is tasty as me and my friend was talking about it i said yea i like sushi shes like did u taste ''Whale penis'' already as she says it is also sushi anybody know anything about it? |
| .....My..Dotz...Are.Sexier..Than...Yours..... |
OrgyGasmic said: shes like did u taste ''Whale penis'' already as she says it is also sushi anybody know anything about it? Firstly, would a whale penis fit in a sushi..? secondly, i don't believe whales mate through that particular type of intercourse, meaning they wouldn't have a penis, although i'm no expert on it (actually it's just an educated guess : P) also, Japanese don't eat animal penii. for that you should go to China, they have specialized restaurants there which are said to improve male..hormonal..functions? Lastly, whales are a rare delicacy in Japan, so if whale was actually used, it would only be in top of the line restaurants, meaning that anything they make would probably taste good anyway XD |
| I really enjoy sushi and especially sashimi. Raw meat is very good for you, and when it tastes good it is just that much better. |

SkiesOfBlue said: Satisfied as in, you can't get full, or satisfied as in... I actually don't know the other option. But feel free to correct me. Have like, 20, not even, and you'll be quite full. And having a bit of variety can't hurt either.Sushi and even Sashimi are delicious to me! Wasabi and soy sauce combined with those... now that's mouth-watering for sure. Quite frankly they're great as snacks, but couldn't really satisfy me as a full course meal. Vagabond said: To me, they don't taste as good as some of the other types. So frankly, I ignore them unless I'm forced to eat it. Or maybe I just don't like avocados.Why does everyone hate hearing about California Rolls? I'm a sushi lover and I also really like California Rolls. Does that make you hate me? ... Don't answer that... |
| Never tried it but I know its quite likely I won't like it |

| I've never seen these animal genital parts in China. Maybe they're more for higher classes who wants 'delicacies" . |
| I started eating sushi long before I was obsessed with anime@@; but I can see the comparison and it makes me sad (that anime lovers can have a more natural affinity towards it >.>). As a sushi restaurant is my favorite restaurant - I hate letting friends know who don't like sushi~ don't want to have to take them there then waste their money since they may pretend they don't like it. |
| Personally, I like eating sushi. Each fish tastes different, each roll tastes different and each restaurant makes sushi differently. Sometimes yes, sushi doesn't taste too great, but most of the time (if it's made correctly) it tastes awesome. The combination of sushi and soy sauce is just awesome. Rikuna said: As a sushi restaurant is my favorite restaurant - I hate letting friends know who don't like sushi~ don't want to have to take them there then waste their money since they may pretend they don't like it. I agree with you on that comment Rikuna. If I'm gonna take friends to a sushi restaurant, I want them to appreciate what their eating rather than just saying "What is this?" |

| I don't like sushi neither raw food. But after I have tried Japanese food from a restaurant over here, I grew to like their food. It wasn't uncooked though, it was dumplings and other hot dishes. |
| I hate sushi. I have tried them and would've barfed if I didn't drench the shit in some sauce. I hate seafood anyways. |
   |
| Ate salmon sashimi again today. Still unremarkable and am not getting the hype. Although I realised today that I actually havent eaten sushi, I'm always eating the raw stuff by itself. Maybe rice would spark things up a bit somewhat? |

Supreme said: Sushi is amazing. Whoever said it has no flavor is either retarded or they went to a sushi bar owned by koreans. It's not like people can distinguish the different races of us asians, they assume we're all the same so "it's probably authentic". p.s. Where have you been Supreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme. |

| I LOVE sushi. But i loved sushi before i liked anime, so to me they are completely unrelated. Just because sushi isn't your cup of tea, doesn't mean that it's completely inconcivable that someone else might like it. Narrow minded much! |

ShaolinRibiero said: Cihan, I can't STAND sashimi, but sushi tastes wonderful. Completely separate entities, man. I dont know man, I just cant see how the rice would make the act of eating fish raw any more better! They dont sell sushi next to my work place, but next time I'm at an izakaya I'll order some and see if it does anything. Cooked food man, COOKED FOOD. Yakitori, yakiniku, nabe, donburi, ramen, anything hot! Always better than cold food in my usually starving opinion. Is raw fish meant to be really good for you though? I'd like to think my body benefited even if my taste buds didnt. EDIT: Is there a thread about Japanese cuisine? We could go on and on about different food from the country. |

Cihan said: Cooked food man, COOKED FOOD. Yakitori, yakiniku, nabe, donburi, ramen, anything hot! Always better than cold food in my usually starving opinion. I've eaten everything you mentioned above and then some. It's all delicious, if prepared well, with fresh ingredients. But sushi is excellent too. I can't explain the exact reason why it tastes so much better and more delicious than simply sashimi, but it does. Whether it be the smaller but thicker piece of fish, the sauce, the rice, whatever. It's a million times superior. Cihan said: EDIT: Is there a thread about Japanese cuisine? We could go on and on about different food from the country. Go ahead and start one. I've eaten a fair amount of Japanese cuisine, and have gone to some very different types of places, from sushi places to primarily cooked food to Shabu-Shabu, but I'm definitely missing out on a lot of dishes. |
| I really like sushi =| I used to hate it, but that's because I had never tried it. But after I tried it it became one of my favourite foods. |
 |
| I've had it countless times, but I never actually enjoy having it. I do agree with the name of the thread lol: People do pretend to like sushi. P.s. Maybe its just me living in a multicultural society but I cant believe some of you have never had any sushi! |

Manifest said: but I cant believe some of you have never had any sushi! It's a very easy thing to happen. I never would have had it myself weren't I such a weeaboo. My town didn't even have sushi until recent years. And it's still not cheap, cheap at all. Anyway, there's just something about that mixture of raw salmon, sticky rice, soy sauce, and wasabi, that's absolutely compelling. And I like it more than probably most forms of cooked fish, even. |

| I really like sushi, but it is not one of my favorite food. |
 |
| I absolutely love sushi, but I definitely wouldn't call it one of my favorite foods. It's good and all, but there are definitely other foods that I like better. Sometimes, though, it's just a sushi day! |
pollo2019 said: I LOVE sushi. Best food of the world i say. With good sake its the best ^_^ See, if you're not a troll, which you don't seem to be, you're one of the kind of people I just don't get. You like it just because it's Japanese, and yet you seem oblivious to that fact. I guess it really does become a placebo, as was mentioned however many pages ago. Sure, you can like Japan, but I don't understand the obsession with a place that most people here have never been and don't actually know all that much about. Anyway, this is what I was getting at with this topic. I mean, how many threads here in the GD contain the word Japan in them? 3 or 4/5? Why is everything about Japan simply because this is an anime forum? Do people realize that the Japan they know and love is not a real place in the sense that they imagine it? It just doesn't make sense to me. I don't actually care one way or the other, but I find it so bizarre, especially in the fact that people act like it's completely normal. I personally speak and understand Japanese to at least an upper intermediate level, that's because I had to learn a second language and anime assisted that. I don't eat pocky or drink lots of green tea (Except the stuff a Japanese friend bought me as a souvenir, don't want to waste it), I've never tried sake and find sushi to be somewhere in the middle of the list of foods taste-wise, I don't listen to Jpop or lots of Anime OSTs, and so forth. Why do people do these things? Do they seriously believe that Japan in the real world is what they imagine it to be? *Shrug*, I'm just baffled by it. |
| Liking sushi and sake together equals obsession with Japan? Boy, you sure do know how to be an asshole, hikky. |

ukonkivi said: Liking sushi and sake together equals obsession with Japan? Boy, you sure do know how to be an asshole, hikky. Actually, because I have the ability of logic, I can infer that a Canadian whose favorite food is sushi, and who just happens to like his sushi with Sake, is learning about "Japanese culture" (Agh, I sort of want to gouge my eyes out every time I hear that by now, because it doesn't actually mean anything in its typical use) and the language in order to watch anime raw, I can put the dots together. And it's not about that specific example, I'm just saying it in regards to the mentality in general. But I do know how to be an asshole, I'll accept that (Although it's not like I'm making accusations, again simply stating I don't understand it). |
hikky said: Actually, because I have the ability of logic Making assumptions of people of connections between things that do not exist? Holy shit I never knew that was the definition of logic. And what the fuck is wrong with liking something just because it's Japanese. Born somewhere has nothing to do with it. It's Pan-taste. Just like liking anime is pan-taste, when there's multiple different genres. I don't like everything from my country because I was born here. Because I'm and individual. I want to gouge my eyes out everytime I have to someone like you rant and rave about how they can't understand or are annoyed by x amount of interest in Japanese culture. It's a dime a dozen and I'm getting awfully tired of it. Guess what, there's more to culture than language. And some of these people, given they're interested in Japanese culture as a whole, probably know as much as you or more about the Japanese language. I'm surprised with your attitude towards non-Japanese taking part in Japanese culture that you have the drive to learn Japanese. |

I'm surprised with your attitude towards non-Japanese taking part in Japanese culture that you have the drive to learn Japanese. My, my, aren't we lashing out today. I would propose that it makes no sense to like anything due to an inherent property such as where it originated. If it's interesting, it is interesting. I'm inferring that people express interest in things they would not be interested in were it not related to Japan. When did I say that culture was all about language? What are you responding to there? And I'd be thoroughly surprised if you found me someone who was both an anime fan and had an interest in "Japanese culture" and had also attained proficiency or fluency in Japanese. Those kind of people never last when the scale of the mountain of memorization needed to learn a language becomes understood. I think the kind of way these people tend to be interested in Japanese culture is more of a novelty than a real desire for understanding of something, and I think that's evident in that they don't actually tend to study Japanese culture on their own in any real scale. I feel the same way about Japanese people who are obsessed with America and assume all white looking gaijin are American and try to date them simply because they're gaijin and so forth. It doesn't apply only to the Japanophilia. The reason I can continue in studying and learning Japanese is precisely because I accept Japan as an imperfect place that has plenty of things I like, and a lot of things I don't like. I don't put Japanese people on a pedestal and don't want them to do that to me either, I simply want to know more about things in general, on the language front, Japanese is where I happened to start. |

Thanks for listing so many of the reasons why I'm too ashamed to admit watching anime to my real life friends, heh. The association isn't valid for me, but it is for most people that watch Japanese cartoons. |
| That doesn't even make a God damn bit of sense. All those old language learning cassettes will tell you you have to "like a culture" to be able to learn a language. God fucking damn this sort 1+1=9 attitude in Japan related forums irritates me. Not only is it easy to find, it's about Goddamn required. |

| That must be some shitty "college" then. |

kasumisama said: That must be some shitty "college" then. I believe it has a lot to do with slang. You really do have to live in a place to be able to speak in that area fluently. |

kasumisama said: That must be some shitty "college" then. You try teaching a large group of students ~5-10,000 words and 3,000 kanji and their readings and meanings and compounds and see how that goes. It's just like how people take 4 years of Spanish or French in high school and can't speak more than one or two sentences by the end of it. (Of course, also to consider is the fact that learning a completely foreign language, especially one with a writing system like Japanese has, is much more difficult than learning a language sharing the same roots.) Of course, the problem doesn't get any better based on the fact that they focus so heavily on grammar when if you learn the language the right way, most of that grammar just seems natural, in the same way that we don't actually learn much grammar in our native languages until we've been speaking them for 5+ years. ukonkivi said: I need to just get out of the thread.

I don't know why this would be so annoying, it's not like I'm running after you specifically with a torch in hand, I'm just trying to understand the obsession. And really, I don't understand why everything has to be illogical just because you (You not being specific to you as in ukonkivi) disagree with it. I know that in life you are the protagonist, but the world has no protagonist and nobody is right all the time, it's ok to be wrong or say something illogical here and there. You are not omniscient and therefore you do not hold superior logic to all people you disagree with. |

It's just like how people take 4 years of Spanish or French in high school and can't speak more than one or two sentences by the end of it. You'd have to be really stupid. Seriously. Okay, I understand how you can take Spanish I in HS and then get out and only remember like a word or two, despite the fact that you did very well, grade-wise. (It happened to me.) But on the other hand...for you to go through Spanish or French I, then II, then III, AND IV? Year after year after year (after year..) of drilling it into your head (we're still assuming this person absolutely excelled) for you not to speak it fluently? Yeah....something's wrong with that picture. On the other hand I can totally understand going to Japan and then being kind of taken off guard at first since, as with any country, there's a whole lot of slang and you'd have to get used to it. But to pass four years of JP, and all (or most) of the JLPT and still know nothing? The odds of that seem a bit low. You should probably do that. I don't know why this would be so annoying, it's not like I'm running after you specifically with a torch in hand, I'm just trying to understand the obsession. Okay, I don't get them either. Really I don't. These people who like anything Japanese simply because its Japanese. Its a mystery. I mean, I'm a huge (HUGE) fan of Japanese anime, manga, video games (even their pr0n is, if not hawt, at least entertaining), but I'm smart enough to know Japan's not like what you see in their entertainment, and I'm not going to try some food I would otherwise normally run from because its Japanese. ....All that said? I don't get the "self-hating otaku" types either. The ones who go out of their way to show how different they are from the kind of people I mentioned above because they don't want normal people to think they're not "cool" or something. The ones who look down on people just because they're not as critical of anime or get fanatical about every series they watch. There's a lot of that on this forum (in anime fandom in general, really), and its kinda laughable. C'mon...we all really like anime here. This is a bit of an undeniable fact. You're on a site that's sole purpose is keeping track of how much anime you watch--if you're just an occasional fan who only watches a series here and there when the mood strikes you, then, well...you have a different problem. (Why are you obsessed with wasting your time, basically.) No offense hikky, but you kinda came off like one of those types when you made this thread...if you're not then I apologize but most of the time I was reading this thread that was the thought that went through my head. |
