  • Hey, guys, how's it going?

  • My name is Michaela and today's Seamus Cats, by which I mean sushi cats, by which I mean sushi.

  • No Japanese people are usually very surprised and pleased to learn that foreigners actually can eat sushi.

  • It seems that in Japan, most people still don't know how wildly insanely popular sushi is overseas.

  • However, in the western world, there's still a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation about what sushi actually is.

  • For example, I'm sure that many of you have had this conversation before.

  • This'll is actually not true.

  • It's a common misconception that sushi equals raw fish, but actually sushi refers to the way that the rice is prepared.

  • The rice is vinegar, and that's what makes it such a perfect match with raw fish.

  • Don't be mistaken.

  • Not all sushi is raw fish, and not all raw fish is sushi.

  • So today I bought all kinds of Japanese sushi and even some things that are not sushi, and I'd like to explain the difference to you today.

  • First John, usually in Japan, when we talk about eating sushi or getting sushi, we don't mean the roles.

  • It's actually much more common to eat McGinty Sushi, which is the vinegar rice on the bottom and the neta fish on the top.

  • You got shrimp.

  • We've got egg.

  • We've got on ago.

  • We've got salmon.

  • We've got everything that isn't to say that rolls don't exist at all in Japan, but they're definitely isn't quite the variety that you will find oversees.

  • This is called a salad roll.

  • It has egg, imitation crab, some tuna and a cucumber.

  • It's no Philadelphia or caterpillar roll, but in terms of complicated rolled sushi, this is about as good as it's gonna get.

  • My favorite type of Japanese rolled sushi is tech a monkey, which is just tuna.

  • I love how this side of super clean and then on this side you can see all the fish coming out.

  • Uh, however, this is sashimi.

  • Sashimi is not sushi.

  • Sashimi is usually raw slices of fish placed on top of daikon, meaning there's no rice involved, and therefore it is not sushi.

  • Finally, this is only duty, which is completely different from the Getty.

  • Sushi owning Didi is a Japanese rice balls that usually has some sort of filling inside, and it's wrapped with seaweed on the outside.

  • It's kind of like a Japanese sandwich.

  • But don't be fooled.

  • Even though only giddy are usually fish, rice and seaweed.

  • They're not sushi.

  • The reason for this is that the rice used is just plain regular rice and not the vinegar drives usually used in other forms of sexual.

  • Also, just as a side note, if you really like fish, rice and seaweed, but you can't stand raw fish, only giddy is the way to go.

  • The fish feelings inside only GT R not raw.

  • They're all cooked.

  • This one is suck it, which is seven.

  • So it has seven flakes inside.

  • So that's all there is to know about Japanese sushi.

  • I hope that this was helpful for you.

  • Time to go impress all your friends and by impressed, I mean make you think you are a pretentious jerk.

  • That's it for this week.

  • What's your favorite type of sushi?

  • I like naked photo.

  • I like tuna.

  • Everything.

  • Tuna is just anything for me.

  • I mean, on the comments to Saul.

Hey, guys, how's it going?
