That guy was soaking his sushi rice way too much. It would have all ended up fallen apart in the soy sauce. Maybe they pack their rice tighter over there. ---

Okay, a lot of that stuff was highly suspicious, but the salt ploy at the end clinched it. Thatā€™s just plain silly! They must be trying to put one over on the hakujins with this ā€œinstructionā€ video. ---

That was awesome. Iā€™m not a big sushi person, but I almost want to go out to a sushi bar just so I can try some of those and gauge the reactions. šŸ˜ƒ ---

I love that video. I tend to throw a lot of sushi parties, and I always forward that video to my guests so they know what to do. ---

Of course I know itā€™s not realā€¦ Itā€™s just thatā€¦when I see those actors doing all that without laughing out loud, I begin to doubt my sanity. ---

How come I never get the sushi with monkey heads or matchbox cars? I needs to find me a classier joint.
