What happens if you feed the Belarusian Japanese sushi? Bashny.Net

Each sushi lovers know very well that this masterpiece of "Japanese" cuisine prepared not in the traditional Japanese way. Nothing like the menu, sushi bars the former Soviet Union in Japan have never seen. Because Belarusians decided to go for the experiment: treat domestic Japanese sushi. What came out of it looking on.





Takeshi - a student of the 4th year Medical University of Fukushima. The future turned out to be a neurosurgeon in Gomel through student exchange program. For two weeks he lived in the dormitory of the Gomel Medical University, attended lectures, visited the hospitals of the city. In addition, local students are prepared for the Japanese rich cultural program. Two weeks Takeshi saw everything: the park, a circus, a bath, tried vodka, pancakes and fried bacon ... On the last day before leaving, we invited him to enjoy what he is so lacking.







In fact, to organize our experiment was not easy. With surprise, we found that only recently outlandish for Belarusians Japanese delicacy is now prepared for each second restaurant in Gomel. Yes there dining! Any self-respecting supermarket is committed to put in the windows of at least a dozen types of sushi.
In order not to get lost in all this variety, we decided not particularly wise and ordered Japanese food in places that are often heard at Gomel. So, at the sushi bar Taboo took a portion of the rolls "Toshiya," in the "Grill House" - "Sensei" and "Alaska", a sushi bar cultural and entertainment center "Europe" bought "Philadelphia", and in the newly opened restaurant Shogun We purchased a couple of kinds of Kani. For the purity of the experiment also went to the supermarket "Almi" and they took it rolls colored "Hiashi," "Samurai" and "Kyoto". They were also the cheapest. Most also expensive - in the Shogun (9 salad stuff and had to shell out 175 thousand.) And "Europe" (portion cost $ 98 thousand. Br).







It's hard to tell what the Japanese think when he sees the non-Japanese sushi ...



So far we have removed them from the plastic containers, Takeshi sat stone-faced. Maybe prayer can silently cursing ... Whatever it was, it was time to try.



The first dish - from the restaurant Shogun. Looks beautiful. And what about the taste?







Takeshi long chewed roll, then still the same silent, then suddenly issued:
- Very strange. Here, instead of fish crabmeat. We do not use it to roll. And rice is very strange. I can not even explain it, but he's not right, - criticized Takeshi dish.
- Rice and fish - the most important component. Without them it is impossible real sushi. Fish should only be used is that a few hours ago swam in the ocean. In many restaurants it caught right in front of the aquarium you and in your presence also of her sushi - says Japanese.



- The cheapest sushi in Japan are around $ 5-7. But cheap does not mean bad. Even inexpensive sushi are fresh fish. Just those that a higher price will be prepared by chefs have expensive restaurants. For this will have to pay up to $ 50-70. By the way, a portion of land in Japan is not 8 like you, and from 12 rolls - induct Takeshi.
- And this - the most popular among Belarusians - "Philadelphia" - push up close to Japanese plate with rolls of "Europe».



- I have not heard that name - Takeshi puzzled. - But they taste very similar to ours. The fish is fresh. Not bad. Perhaps they put five on the seven-point scale.
- And how do you feel about the preparation of rolls at home? Our women often do.
- Japanese hostess would not dream of cooking sushi at home. We have not decided to do by land. This should be dealt with by professionals.
Next in line - rolls "Sensei" and "Alaska" from the bar "Grill House».
The first remark - the composition:
- I can not understand why you all Rolla cheese. We did not add. And the fish are not crude. This is the wrong sushi - adjudicates Takeshi.
Rolls of Taboo Takeshi too disappointed.
- Fish upset me again. It would be better here they put the crab meat, as in the first. At least, it was unusual - concludes Japanese.
While we were going with the spirit of the Japanese offer the latest batch of rolls from the supermarket, he talked about democracy Japanese cuisine:
- It prejudices that the land needed for eating certain rituals. Sushi all you can eat when you want and how you want. Not necessarily even chopsticks. Many Japanese people eat with their hands in the ordinary eatery. But that does not forgive any one Japanese - is the taste. The fish should be moist and fresh.
Unfortunately, the rolls of "Almi" Japanese names only. The Japanese did not understand the taste of almonds coated in "Kyoto", and did not appreciate "Hiashi." He slapped it on two points.
Before taste poisonous green "Samurai", Takeshi decided to take it apart into pieces and see what's inside. But the combination of fish and greenery to bribe him, and this roll Japanese suddenly put a strong top five.
- Go to related products and condiments for sushi no complaints. Soy sauce, wasabi and ginger taste the same, as with us. But the land is very different. If you've ever tried to present the land, those you do not have liked, - summed up the foreigner.
