After 9 trips to Japan, the thing I love about Japanese culture is the care, attention to detail, and the ability to raise any activity to an art form, from taking a bath to dining on sushi. I miss the people from the land of the rising sun. I hope to some day visit again.

16:15 Maidenhair tree...also a gingko tree, is certainly a softer wood...similar to some harder pine species (for those of you here in the U.S.)...with a hardness of about 3300N. Here in the U.S. people all want hardwood cutting boards that are twice as hard as that because they don't realize how bad it is for their knives. They just want what LOOKS good and don't really care too much about what actually WORKS well.

Also, this chef really elevated his sushi to the highest level and watching Japanese people experience his creations together made me feel like I was back in Japan. Uni is one of my favorites and I will dream of having uni sushi like the one you had.

@@empress2529 Hello and thank you for sharing how you eat sushi in Israel. In America we usually have ours with soy sauce, ginger, and wassabi. I've never been offered the mayo and also rice is served but not as a rice ball. Some sushi is wrapped in seaweed but never the rice. And if I remember correctly in the video he mentioned that rice was kept in vinegar to keep it fresh. Most Americans don't like vinegar so our rice is manufactured and stored differently. I would love to taste a true Japanese rice ball some day. Thanks again for telling me about sushi in your country I appreciate it. Take care
