Japanese cuisine is an art form. But it’s also sneaky fun. Sushi looks simple, but a master chef trains for ten years just to make the rice right. That’s dedication.
Here’s a weird one: wasabi is usually fake. Real wasabi is a root that costs a fortune. Most of that green paste is just horseradish with food coloring. Your nose burns either way!
Another quirk: slurping noodles is polite. It shows you’re enjoying the meal. So forget your table manners and get noisy. It’s basically a compliment to the chef.
