What’s your favorite sushi? History of Sushi 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXjNpaihodSjh8k I like sushi, but I also survive on your support: www.patreon.com/Linfamy

History of tea ceremonies please 🙏

Hey linfamy, here is a secret, I comment on your videos right when they come out, and then binge watch them later

Knowing the difference between sashimi and sushi may not win you over any friend in the US, but it will win you over friends in Japan. Speaking as Japanese, confusing those two dishes is like confusing hamburger and hotdogs.

[@jasonblalock4429]

So you're saying they're both sandwiches?

[@yoremothra9838]

@@jasonblalock4429 Hotdogs are just gussied up, Northeast Tacos, not a sandwich. So yes, it is correct to keep them separated.

japan didn't have raw salmon until the 1980's, the Japanese salmon had parasites so it had to be cooked, but in the 1980's Norway brought its parasite free salmon to japan which they started using in 1995

"One American meal" Shit, the emperor was THAT important?

[@n0etic_f0x]

It may just be raw fish but every time I have Salmon or Tuna that I cooked I always think "Damn... why did I cook this? It is better raw." and generally it is because the fish is not nearly fresh enough so I guess not being hideously sick is a good reason.

[@nullvoid6095]

You can just lightly cook (slowly) them so that the insides wouldn’t be completely raw

[@Bionickpunk]

Yep, if you dont live on the coast and get your fish from reputable fishers, trusting the raw fish sushi gets trickier.

[@mgcuniverse9037]

Farmed Salmon 🍣 is safe to eat Raw because of the quality control Fresh tuna is also safe because they’re really deep sea

[@mgcuniverse9037]

You can also soak them in vinegar and or lemon/lime juice

[@chubbydinosaur9148]

I live in the middle of Europe and yesterday, while promenading past the fish isle, I saw that they offered raw salmon cubes for those poke bowls (I guess). I'm 3 hours away from the Belgian coast if I drive like a grandma (trust me I do) but dang that's not convincing me to eat raw fish 😂
