    In Japan, sushi is definitely one of the more expensive foods. You can’t really use yesterday’s fish as authentic sushi uses fresh fish which you can’t eat the next day for obvious reasons.

      Uhh what? Sushi is cheap as fuck in Japan (compared to north America at least … and tastes way way better).

      And nearly all sushi is caught weeks before it is served. Although it is kept frozen until then.

        But it’s like triple the price of ramen or Yoshinoya - and that’s the cheap sushi. Real sushi isn’t a leftover recipe, it’s an art by real chefs.

      People started putting all kinds of fillings into sushi like chicken, beef, sausages, vegetables and whatnot. So… fresh fish ain’t a requisite for sushi anymore.

        Isn’t that kimbap? I think sushi is raw fish or sashimi when using raw meat. And the Korean kimbap uses cooked meats. I could be wrong, but I think those are the differences.
