| I enjoy sushi. It is in fact one of my favorite foods and I don't like it because I like anime and manga. I have respect for Japanese culture, but even if it wasn't Japanese, I would still love it.But it does bother me too when people claim they like something Japanese, when they only like it because they like anime. I don't think the fondness for anime should have anything to do with liking Japanese food. I am Asian and my mother cooks real Chinese and Vietnamese food for me, so maybe that is why I enjoy it so much. And I normally do not eat very salty or sugary foods, so I truly do enjoy the flavor of fish, rice, and seaweed by itself as opposed to having a lot of seasoning. Sometimes I even eat just plain seaweed paper and rice paper(used for springrolls) as a snack. I suppose it's because I have that type of taste for food that I enjoy it. And as for the soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi sides: I am asian, hence I love soy sauce. I love sour things, hence I love pickled ginger. I like the unique 'quick spicyness' of wasabi, hence wasabi is the bomb! |
| I enjoy the american version, I don't know, it's like nigiri/maki rolls or something like that. I sometimes eat actual sushi how it should be made, prefferably unagi and shrimp. It's healthy too and I do find some of it to be very enjoyable. |
| sushi is yummy, and besides, its the only fish i can eat. |

Sotoriel said: But what bothers me even more than the fact that everyone "loves" sushi is that they always call sashimi, kimbap, and maki rolls "sushi" as well. I mean, come on, really? No idea what kimbap is and I can agree that sashimi is not the same as sushi, but maki rolls are a type of sushi o_O; |
| I don't really like to eat sushi, but I like eating salmon sashimi (they're somehow different, right?) but I also like eating california maki rolls. |

Might suit your taste better if you don't like fish |

| Well, I'm a vegetarian, so I don't eat sushi. |
| i love sushi. just went to an all you can eat sushi bar the other day. loved it. |
| I'm not obsessed with Japan. Frankly the behaviours and choices of Japan in many different areas turns me away from it. I do like Sushi though. I'm not a huge fan of wasabi, but I like it as well. Sushi is not flavourless. Frankly, if you believe it is, you need to make sure you have your full sense of taste. If Sushi is flavourless, the colours let off by fire are dull. |

| Kimbap is made with regular rice-not sticky vinegar rice. And the rolls are larger and somewhat thinner. They usually have eggs and pickled veges in it. Sometimes when I have little bits of leftovers here and there and some white rice, I make kimbap with it. Really good! :) |
| Sushi...is an acquired taste, like alcohol. So, as a result of many buffet visits, I love it. But definitely a Whopper over all you can eat sushi any day. |

| Man, I love Sushi, it so absolutely tasty. One of my top favorite foods. I also like Wasabi. Tho strong, it definately has an interesting taste when combined with the sushi. I think it definately an acquired taste tho. |
 |
| I love seafood, but hate Suchi. Augh. |
| Sushi? Actually, I love Japanese food in general, and my favourite is actually grilled salmon. |
 |
| It tastes like styrofoam... Ugh. Seriously, I've tried a couple different types and each time I have literally gagged it back up and spat it out. How can people eat that willingly? |
| I don't really know if I hate sushi (never tried), but since I can't stand both seafood and rice, I probably won't end up liking it. |
| Honestly, it depends on what kind it is. I hate rolls that have shrimp or urchin, but I would totally push my face into some eel or salmon sushi, especially if it includes that tiny smelt roe. Not a big fan of those fat salmon eggs, though. |
 |
| Sushi tastes really, really good with duck sauce. It depends what kind you're eating though. There are some I really don't like, some I think are meh and sort of flavorless and a lot that taste wonderful. Spicy rolls are my personal favorite |
| English/American sushi is not very good. Japanese sushi, however... I'm a bigger fan of that than anime. Not all types, of course. Uni (urchin) makes me gag, and raw, whole squids are just rough. Ikura (the salmon eggs) blow, as do most things made with fish eggs other than tarako used in hot dishes. |

Akimoto_Kimura said: speaking of this, what the fuck is duck sauce anyways, do they grind the duck into liquid or somethingSushi tastes really, really good with duck sauce. i dont like most sushi, its not bad but i would never be like 'YO GUYS, LETS GO EAT OUT AT THAT SUSHI PLACE THIS FRIDAY', i like the raw salmon things on the square rice, dont know if thats considered sushi |
| Funny topic title. Nah, I been liking sushi, holmes. I don't even like anime as much as I like sushi; I'm a casual anime fan, but I love me some sushi. I just wish it was cheaper. $60 US for a sushi lunch for two? Gotdang! |
 |
| When I was a child, I hated raw salmon. Yeah, I know, most children love it, but not me. It took me a long time to get used to it. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
CottonCandyLover said: Akimoto_Kimura said: i like the raw salmon things on the square rice, dont know if thats considered sushiSushi tastes really, really good with duck sauce. Duck sauce is actually plum sauce (unless ccl was referring to something else). Salmon nigiri is definately sushi. |

| Sushi's definitely one of my favorite foods. Whenever my wife and I get a chance to go out on a date, we normally go eat sushi. Mmmm...spicy tuna... I don't like wasabi or ginger very much, though. :P |

| Sushi is delicious. There is nothing like slurping fresh maguro. Granted, I'm also a total slut for seafood. |

| i love sushi. when was sushi ever plain?! there is always flavor. not a big fan of seafood, but i love sushi. and being an anime fan has nothing to do with me loving sushi. |
iciclepop said: and being an anime fan has nothing to do with me loving sushi. Believe it or not, most anime/Japan fans have a preference for Japanese food over everything else. I do think there's some connection there. |
| I'd say sushi and sashimi is not my idea of Japanese food. Cooked seafood is good tho. |

| I only like American sushi. |
| I'm definitely not a fan of sushi. |
| I love sushi! My liking anime has absolutely no influence on this, it's just good stuff. My love of seafood, on the other hand, might have some influence. Just a bit. Eel especially is the best food on the planet. When it's cooked just right, to be warm and soft, but still retain its uncooked flavor, and it just dissolves in your mouth into a delicious slurry of deliciousness... ooooh, man. It's better than crack. You can have your sweets and candies, I want eel! Seriously, though, I have never in my life had any food I liked more than good eel. Not perfectly cooked steak, nor my mother's chocolate chip cookies, nor the best BBQ I've ever had. Nothing beats good eel. Also, sashimi is better than sushi. A lot Japanese foods, though, are disgusting. I've tried mochi before, for instance, and it is nasty stuff. It tastes like raw bread dough. |
cakeisthesauce said: sushi is great no matter how it's served. and what the OP said made NO SENSE, how the hell does enjoying anime and manga affect ur taste buds? Do we really need to explain...? Anime fans love anime. Anime is Japanese culture. Anime fans love Japanese culture. Sushi is part of Japanese culture. Anime fan must love Sushi. Basically, anime fans will love sushi no matter how it's served. You see it now? |
| aniem fan =/= japanophile |

| sushi is good. but i'd usually prefer a japanese steak |

| I really like sushi but that is because i'm a great fan of seafood. Feed me anything that has lived in a sea and you make me a happy woman :"D |

| Oh, it's this old topic. Personally, no amount of anime would make me like Nattou. But I like Sushi. And there's nothing wrong with wanting to like the taste of something because it's from a culture you're interested in. Tastes in food are not something you're born with, and there's nothing wrong with trying to like a food, and it's a very achievable endeavor. Believe it or not, the sugar pill of being a "Japanophile" can make you like the taste of something you normally wouldn't. I like Sushi because the combination of Soy Sauce and Wasabi on that so called flavourless meat and rice tastes strangely exquisite. And for so called being flavorless, I taste a lot of difference in the kind of meat that it's on. For instance, Salmon is by far my favorite. Though I wouldn't want to eat any raw fish by itself. Just that combination, of white sticky rice, raw salmon, and the perfect combination of soy sauce and wasabi, is something I love more than a lot of foods and would easily love to eat until I'm full. However, overall, they are not my favorite Japanese foods. And they're also expensive, even for Japanese people. My favorite Japanese foods are Udon, Dango, and Sukiyaki. |

| Not quite into fish.:P |

| I don't enjoy sushi or seafood much. I'm more of a meat and potatoes type of guy, I find it hard to eat other foods, even though I would like to have more variety >_< Hopefully someday I will grow out of it, and be able to eat more types of food. |
| From what I've tried, which isn't much, sushi has too much leaf not enough meat for my tastes. |
