Hey everyone,

I've recently came back from a family trip overseas and we had a layover in Japan. I managed to try some of their sushi (went to Ariso Sushi in Haneda Airport as well as supermarket sushi in Aeon Mall in Narita Japan). So I've come to this conclusion, and if possible, could you guys confirm or correct me if I'm wrong? "The real difference in sushi from Japan and the US is mostly the rice, the way it is prepared (temperature, process, aging, amount of seasoning- salt, vinegar, etc.) and kind of rice used." Also, the fish used is of higher quality (tastes better- less fishy taste) and more fresh than the US (since it usually arrives from the fisherman's catch and then immediately to the market."

Finally, I have a picture of a supermarket sushi box, with red outlines. Are those red snapper (tai) and yellowtail, or something else?

Hi
I don't know anything about US sushi... but Japan is famous for the high standards of freshness of the fish and their skill and making good rice.
