Sushi ya

Considering my strong desire to adhere this blog to food centric and my social life has been greatly deprived by work, I need to venture out for external resources.

I found this funny video on youtube that teach you how to eat at sushi bar. I often think that eating at a sushi bar in japan can be very tricky. I don't know all the sashimi names that make me difficult to place order from chef, at the same time I am afraid that if I order a kaiseki menu, they would trick me into paying an extremely expensive bill by serving me the rare species.

To me, this looks more like a satire video than a cultural promotion. I know sushiya is the most traditional japanese restaurant but this formality and rigidness can be very annoying. Everything seems to be part of an act, why do I need to pretend and follow so many rules while my main objective is to enjoy the food?
