A good spicy tuna roll is the bomb too. I rate sushi joints by the quality of their tuna.

A really good steak will do a hell of a lot more for me than sushi EVER will.

pretty sad 😉

Why? I'm white, not Asian, so I don't automatically get a hard-on for raw fish.

whats funny is that percentage wise, there are probably more white people who get a hard-on for raw fish than Asians, but I digress.

I like the japanese concept of serving rich things (kobe, otoro) in small amounts so that you still crave one more bite when you are finished.

Not down with the American way of slapping down a huge piece of kobe steak and charging you $250 for it and then making you very lethargic afterwards.

Who serves 25oz kobe for $250? Usually comes 6-10oz.

just thinking about tartare makes me want to puke.

Sushi doesn't mean raw meat, it means "pickled rice". You can put many, many things in a sushi plate.

in american, we associate sushi with raw fish regardless of the Japaneses meaning of the word that is the meaning it holds in America.

who cares what they think it means "in american" [sic]

And how many of those 6-10oz kobes are even the genuine article? I'm really sick of places claiming to sell Kobe that are actually selling random Wagyu beef.
 
I like my sushi, but it definitely does not give me a high. It might make me feel full (and that in itself makes me feel happy), but it doesn't give me a buzz of any sort.

Because they show you the meat before they serve it?
 
Hmm, I've heard tell of this among an elite circle of sushi-eating douchebags. I believe it's called the "hipster high", and it manifests itself as a prolonged period of orgasmic pleasure over one's own vapid trendiness.

10 ounces of japanese kobe is a lot. the $250 is perhaps an exaggeration.

I can't eat anything with soy sauce (has wheat in it), so the food I can eat there is pretty limited. I stick to the sushi and plain white rice. No butter.
 
I like sushi, but I prefer sashimi. When eating sashimi, I much prefer Korean sashimi over Japanese sashimi. I prefer my fish to be alive when they cut it.

I don't get "high" from eating sushi or sashimi but I do crave it if I go too long without eating it. I can eat sushi or sashimi everyday. One of the few foods I don't get tired of.
