I am confused. I have been in Sushi places in different countries, and all of them had sticky rice. The only time the Sushi breaks appart is when I fail at holding chopsticks

[@lyn3325]

The rice always sticks together but at some places in the US the fish does not stick to the rice at all. It'd only fall off if you don't keep it facing up so it's fine.

[@caroleberreur9585]

@@caroleberreur9585 also sushi is to be eaten in a particular order. Americans eat it in any order but traditionally it's supposed to be eaten in particular order. And it's also kot served usually all on one plate at the same time like how most American sush places present it.

[@jimdewitt5406]

Actually this kind of sushi (nigiri) is "finger food" in Japan. It's supposed to be picked up with the fingers (NOT chopsticks), turned upside-down, dipped slightly in soy sauce (unless there is another flavoring or sauce on it), so this whole topic of the rice falling out from the chopsticks is a non-issue

[@MrsEats]

Yes, the rice paddy art is very impressive! Some people get really creative in Japan to express themselves!

[@viewer-of-content]

In the midwest corn belt in America its also common to make art with plants. corn mazes that ate many km^2 and can be often styled after picture books or holloween characters. Usually the farmer tries to make up for the lowered corn row density by charging for harvest festival activities like: bobbing for apples, hay carrage, rides, corn maze scavanger hunts, and spooky haunted houses. And arial photos act as ads when displayed on the local news. I couldn't find a refference to a total anual number of corn mazes, but i did see one design firm said they helped different farmers design 250 different mazes in a single year. The corn varieties used for mazes are often lower yeilding too. Because you want the corn to be tall and thick enough to act as a good hedge for a maze, the varieties don't have as much energy for ear and cournal growth. Also my home state of South dakota has uses corn Varieties to make art on a "corn palace" community center in one city that has been continuously decorated with new art since 1892. Apperantly other buildings in the state had decorated simalarly in the past, but I'm unsure of how many still staple up all of that corn to decorate with.

[@MrsEats]

Yeah, it’s true! 5 big strawberries is about $6！but tastes good!!

[@PongoXBongo]

Quality over quantity, I guess. In the US, we have abundant, cheap fruit year-round. But, it's often grown in questionable conditions and picked by low-paid migrant workers. The 'Sherman Tank' approach, as it were.

[@tnatstrat7495]

@@PongoXBongo I live here in Japan. They don't taste any better than they do back home where I'm from in Nebraska. I think the high price is more of a supply chain issue. Apples for example. Almost 20 states grow apples in the USA. The land mass we can grow apples on is probably two or three times the size of Japan. In Japan you have Hokkaido and Aomori, that's about it. Everything else has to be shipped from overseas.

[@capitalb5889]

The only thing that is really cheap is fruit that they can't grow in Japan and is therefore not protected by massive import tariffs. In practice that means cheap bananas and expensive everything else.

We also have "kairo" here in the US. I most often see them for sale near the checkout stands of hardware stores and home improvement stores during the colder months, but I've also seen them for sale at grocery stores and other locations. They're typically marketed under brand names like "Hot Hands." I had just assumed that most countries that sometimes experience cold weather have some variation of this product, since it's both cheap and undeniably useful.

* In the US if you go to a sushi restaurant the rice sticks together nicely. People who make sushi at home always seem to use the wrong rice and "sauce" (Mirin, sugar, and salt) in the rice. * Green tea Kit Kats are my favorite. To get them I have to order them through Amazon along with my Ganma hot crispies. * On the last one I thought he was talking about tatami mat trains, not taxis.

[@fandyllic1975]

FYI, “American” rice is usually medium grain and not long grain... usually closer to Chinese style rice, but maybe prepared differently. Actual long grain rice is usually the kind found in India and the Middle East like Basmati rice. Koreans use the same style rice as Japan usually, and that is short grain rice. However, I’ve seen short grain rice marketed as specifically for everyday food vs sushi vs mochi, but I’m not sure there is really that much difference.

[@loryndabenson2118]

Short grain jasmine makes better sticky rice and is sightly sweeter than medium and long grain white rice. Personally the medium and long grain rices have more earthy flavors to me so i prefer to pair them with different flavor dishes so the flavors complement the meal best.

That is standard "sushi rice" in America too. Not sure where that guy gets his sushi at.

@@Trollestiatumblur I dunno man... It sounds pretty much the same way Donna Burke pronounces it at Shinkansen Stations in Japan. Maybe he's not emphasising the sylables, but meh that's not a huge deal...

[@whoevenknows762]

Right? I studied Japanese for 6 years and have Been to Japan and the pronunciation is terrible. Shinkansen is shin con sen not shin can sen. There's so many other examples of getting the pronunciation wrong but that's the big im currently on

I often wonder, when people make KZbin videos about stuff, if they don't know about Google Translate's TTS function. It's pretty accurate most of the time, even if it tends to sound a bit robotic. But you can easily check how a word is pronounced before trying to say it in a video. It seems most people just don't bother with it though.

Few subscriber, I love how well you explain things!

13:16 We have those here in America too, we used to sell them in Duane Reade, Korea Town in Manhattan as early as 2013, just different brand name, and I bought some; great to keep your hands warm in the previous, old weather, brutal cold winter New York used to have.

Have watched a few of your videos now. I like your presentation and the content. Specific to this video I appreciate the alternate view.

this dude must be going to some awful sushi restaurants. Ive never been to a sushi restaurant here in canada that doesnt use rice vinegar in their sushi rice and ive never had my nigiri fall apart. also, eating nigiri is so much easier using your hands but somehow westerners havent figured this out yet so they keep on struggling away. I am very good at using chopsticks and even still I just use my hands eating nigiri.

[@MrsEats]

Thank you for your comment! Yeah, it could be difficult for people who are not used to use chopsticks to eat sushi! Maybe we should start eating sushi with hands!

When you go to McDonald's in (Camden, NJ) America but KFC in Akihabara.

We also have activated charcoal warmers by a brand called hot hands and they also sell heating pads for shoes as well.
