There are many sushi restaurants now, such as those that make sushi with effective seafood, those that make sushi with effective cucumbers and those that make sushi with thick eggs. Among many sushi restaurants, only one is out of place, because their name is obviously not Japanese design style, but is named after a big city in the United States. Why do Japanese sushi restaurants suddenly have American design style?
California roll is an extremely special kind of Japanese sushi, which is quite different from Japanese sushi only on the surface. A friend who knows Japanese sushi recommended that this California roll actually rose in North America, not a sushi restaurant, or even Japanese cuisine at all. According to this statement, isn't this California roll a fake? Why did the Japanese accept this fake and put it into their proud sushi restaurant?
In the 1970s, Japanese cuisine left Japan and went to Europe. At that time, in the eyes of westerners, Japanese food was equivalent to tempura and teriyaki sauce, while sushi restaurant was a food that only Japanese people loved. In order to let westerners master sushi restaurants, some Japanese set up Japanese food stores in Europe and America and brought their sushi skills there. I didn't expect westerners to be very resistant to sushi restaurants, and the point of resistance lies in the seaweed wrapped in sushi restaurants.
The main reason why westerners often don't eat laver is that in their view, westerners can't digest and absorb laver, and seeing laver wrapped in black ingredients makes people lose their appetite. At present, a Japanese sushi chef who opens a shop in North America can only be diligent in thinking about changing the status quo of sushi restaurants. I don't like sushi very much, so I'll turn the sushi restaurant from the outside to the inside so that they can't see it. Don't like raw fish Then I'll change the crab stick, which should be acceptable to everyone.
In fact, changing the status quo according to the local food culture will really make a business hot again. The improved California rolls were immediately warmly welcomed by North Americans, so that at that time, Japanese food stores, large and small, had begun to try to make such distinctive sushi shops to attract local westerners. However, this kind of "American sushi restaurant" received a lot of bad reviews from Japanese at that time, but many merchants felt that you should take care of local tastes when opening a physical store in Europe, otherwise how can you do business?
Subsequently, this "American sushi restaurant" continued to improve. Because Americans love to eat cucumbers and Sakyamuni, cucumbers and Sakyamuni have become the necessities of this kind of sushi restaurant. Instead of sashimi crab sticks, in order to keep some Japanese-style thick baked eggs and fish eggs, the "California Roll" was finally poured with mayonnaise, which Americans and Japanese desperately love, and was declared as a Japanese dish in the eyes of westerners. When we see Americans eating left-handed chicken, the Japanese may feel the same.
Although the California roll is really fake, it is not pure at all, and in the first few days of its release, many Japanese people wrote to express their dissatisfaction, but they have to say that the taste of the California roll is really delicious and everyone can accept it. Even in recent days, I have gradually begun to accept the emergence of California rolls, and even some Japanese shops that take the road of independent innovation can provide California rolls to attract customers.
In Japanese sushi, a "California roll" named after an American city will suddenly appear. It's just a change made by sushi restaurants in developing foreign customers.
