When it comes to sushi, you either love it or you don’t. Sure it’s an acquired taste, but we all know what sushi is. Well apparently this Chinese student didn’t, and when she and her friends visited a rather famous sushi house while studying in Japan, she ended up pissing off the owners and went online to rant on Weibo (the Chinese Facebook) and bad mouth them thinking that her friends would back her up. Instead, she was met with a backlash of public shame and many called her a disgrace to her country. If this story doesn’t make your Monday just a little more tolerable, it’ll at least put you in the mood for sushi.

Chinese student Chuhan Lin was studying in Japan when she and four friends decided to try sushi at a branch of the famous Sukiyabashi Jiro restaurant in Roppongi, Japan, made famous from the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi. The restaurant was managed by one of Jiro’s sons and is known the world over for pretty much the best sushi ever.[/QUOTE]

She also likes her steaks cooked well done
I prefer sushi warm, but never cooked.

A lot of Asians prefer it that way actually.
Cooked Sushi? That's like Lemonade without Lemons
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;44794400]Cooked Sushi? That's like Lemonade without Lemons[/QUOTE]
No, not really...
I like that she apologized, that was good of her.
[quote]She eventually took down her post, saying that, “the whole world is scolding me.” It was reported afterwards she went back to the sushi restaurant and apologized to them to which they responded she is always welcome back when she develops a taste for sushi.[/quote]
[quote]“If we were Abe! If we were Obama! Would he dare to show such an attitude?”[/quote]
Given Jiro and his family's dedication to their life's work, I'm going to go on a limb and say he would have no second thoughts about kicking Obama out of his restaurant if he showed up late and the asked for his sushi to be cooked.
Why on earth would you make a reservation for a place you have to book a month in advance that costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $300 if you don't know if you like the food, and moreover why on earth would you show up late?

Status-oriented tropes, perhaps. It's the only reason shark-fin soup stayed around. It has no medicinal side. It's completely tasteless without additives brought in the broth added. But the upper class, and those who wish to be perceived as such, eat it because it reflects status.
I really have no god-damned idea. Paying more than $15 a plate for food is madness to me.
After watching that documentary on Netflix on Jiro I would be dumbstruck if someone made a comment like that. Jiro is like a god with making sushi, I would do terrible things to get to eat the art that he makes.
I'm glad she apologized though and that they welcomed her back whenever she gets a taste for sushi.
I like my sushi deep fried.
Students want cooked food, shit hits fan.

You've obviously never had a really nice steak.
i never had sushi.

the vast majority of it is raw, i can't think of any fish that is cooked at sushi restaurants.

Eel is always cooked

tuna
Some restaurants have smoked salmon as an option but thats pretty much it.
so basically a culture known for being pompous gets mad at a culture known for criticizing everything when it's the upper class

the restaurant seems professional at least, the internet people, as usual, not so much

Every Shrimp sushi I've had(granted, not 100% authentic Japanese Sushi from Japan mind you) has had the shrimp cooked as well.

The nicest steak I've ever had could be one of two experiences. The first when I acquired some restaurant surplus steak tips, put them in a fry pan, added water, boiled the water down at a simmer, and then caramelized the melted fat back onto the meat until it formed a shell. I had chunks of meat that had that nice firm outside and were a moist flavor explosion on the inside, and I've yet to really match it cooking myself (I rarely cook, though).
The second experience was probably a steakhouse restaurant at some point. Never paid over $15, though. That's for damn sure.

Because Chinese youths born into the elite are used to having the world handed to them almost literally.

tuna is normally raw

that's pretty impressive, i bought three ~10oz rib-eye cuts from a local butcher for 10 bucks a piece for mothers day. so either you're incredibly money-wise or you'd just be hard pressed to find those kinds of deals here in Canada. ive personally never seen a decent steak meal at a restaurant for under $20 here.

The guy's comment was that he doesn't know of any [U]fish[/U] which are cooked in sushi restaurants.

Not to be irrelevant, but there's a reason why people who are wealthy are synonymous with food; food prepared in such a manner and in the utmost perfect quality and manner, with delicate touch, while literally make you never want to eat certain foods. A chef I know spent 100$ on a steak, and says he's not tasted any meat since that has made him satisfied. Spending that much money on quality food ruins your sense of taste sometimes.
the best part is she went to jiros
its like going to el bulli and asking for a burger
cooked sushi?
is that even a thing that exists?
Tempura fried sushi is the bomb

I seriously wonder how much of that is cost-justification delusion. And I don't mean to sound like an ass, but that IS a thing. It becomes a real problem in certain areas, and it's specifically why I try to be frugal.
Aside from being poor, I mean.
I like Pacific Salmon in my sushi.
