An Inside Look at Sushi

One of the factors that made sushi popular was the influence of the American soldiers. After World War II (WWII), American soldiers who were led by General Douglas MacArthur occupied Japan. During the war, sushi shops were forced to close due to rationing. There were not enough rice to reopen the shops after the war. The American forces created a program where people would be the ones to bring their own rice to the shop if they wanted sushi. The sushi chef would then use the rice brought by the customers to make sushi for them. This allowed for the shops to reopen and function. This popularized sushi outside of Tokyo (sushi was mainly sold in the city). One can say, sushi was saved by the American forces. If the American forces had not stepped in and created the program to help revive the sushi shops, no doubt would there be sushi shops open today. Sushi would not have had the chance to spread outside of Tokyo.

Their dishes taste so good because all diverse of flavor that the dishes have but the problem is that it isn’t health to eat.

With this increase in the productivity of farmers, came a proliferation of food processing industries and fast food restaurants. These food processing industries and restaurants capitalized on the abundant, overly cheap commodity crops to their advantage; to make profit, and to the disadvantage of poor Americans. During processing of these commodity crops, the natural nutrients that give these foods their natural flavors are destroyed. To replace these, food additives and flavorings are added to restore their taste and prolong their shelf life. Often these chemicals contain some harmful elements that affect the way our bodies use food. These highly processed foods, dense in calories,

The culture of the Japanese helped introduce sushi into Japan. Their religious affiliations, which were Buddhism, prevented them from eating meant. They saw animals as sacred beings with souls just like them. As a result, they refused to kill animals. The Japanese viewed fish as an alternative method because they were not allowed to harm other animals dude to their religious affiliation. Not only did fish become the staple of Japanese identity, so did rice. Rice has been around since the beginning of Japanese culture and still remains a staple of Japanese identity to this day. The combination of the two most consumed food in Japan led to sushi, which quickly spread to western countries. To this day Japanese identity/culture has a lot

Food and cuisine is one of the most important and influential aspects of how a country's culture is shaped and by looking at how this has been accomplished, it is clear to see direct links between dishes and aspects of Japanese and Australian Culture.

Many would like to point out that processed foods still contain vitamins, but truthfully they do not provide the quality, or quantity of nutrition gained from eating whole foods. Processed foods, in addition, commonly contain massive amounts of artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, sugar, and hydrogenated oils. The sugars and sodium levels in these foods sometimes surpass the daily recommended allowance. These monstrous additives can cause allergic reactions or even eventually degenerative diseases (Health Teacher). Not all is lost in today’s fast food society; there is an alternative that can prevent our bodies from being overtaken by food imposters. Whole food wins the battle when making the body happy and protecting the bank.

Foreign foods in the United States represent the food culture of its country of origin. Examples include pizza from Italy, tacos from Mexico, and dumplings from China. These foods have been introduced in America and they blended in with American culture, causing these foods to eaten on a daily basis. Some foods that originate from different countries have been adapted and been called “American style”. Pizza, for example, is from Italy, but Americans created their own twist on pizza, and today, there is cooked New York style pizza.

Despite the unparalleled popularity of bluefin tuna in today’s sushi industry, it has not always been this way. Sushi, prior to the mid-twentieth was a luxury food eaten exclusively during special occasions, and Japanese chefs never used to serve bluefin tuna in sushi bars (Kurokura, Takagi, Sakai, Yagi, 2012). The tuna had too strong of a taste for the Japanese palette who preferred milder species of fish, however this all changed post-WWII. Japan underwent a rapid transformation from a war torn state into a global economic power in a matter of decades. By 1980, Japan had become the second largest economy in the world, following only USA (Dicken, 2011). The proliferation of the middle and upper class in Japan equated in a greater demand for sushi in everyday diet. The 1970’s marked a new epoch in sushi culture as the quest for

Such symbolism would never work today. In the short decades since Hughes’ hit film, sushi has become a staple of American culture, a familiar, accessible and immensely desirable food that can be found in supermarket aisles and fast food outlets as well as high-end restaurants. Far

Most of this documentary was filmed inside the restaurant of the Jiro’s Michelin. This restaurant is highest ranking in the world. The director tried to include the role of sushi each shot. For example, most of shots focused hands cooking a larger chunk of tuna and switch to the cooked sushi. In addition, during an interview the camera was using cut to b-roll of sushi and work scenes in kitchen. I think the director wanted to show the gorgeousness and detailed of making sushi. Moreover, this film had quickly paced with zooming and slating cameras to give a sense of reality. The director wanted to make more like a narrative feature than another documentary. He framed the shots the pieces of sushi were zoom in and a focus on appetizing the sushi was displayed. It make more a clear indication. I think that when shooting B-roll for this film the audiences should bear in mind that we are subjectively telling a story, rather than recording events as they unfold before us.

Preparing sushi in the 15th century was once a process that took 2 months to a full year to complete, not to mention it was incredibly wasteful, as only the fish was eaten and the rice was thrown away (Hsin 2012). But in the last decade, it seems that the popularity of sushi only continues to grow. It has become convenient to buy sushi, a customer can buy sushi in supermarkets, university lunch lines and even in what is deemed a “conveyor belt restaurant” where a patron can sit and eat sushi as it passes by them on a conveyor belt. Thus this correlation in the rise of sushi consumption in the last decade and the depletion of fish populations that Jiro explains in his film seems completely

One of the things I have learned from this video is the effort and hard work that Jiro put in to making sushi. Along the way Jiro was always motivated into making the best of the best for his customers. Jiro was not the only one passionate about his work but also those around him. I believe those in japan are very passionate about their work.

nowadays, people do not know what they are eating. The majority of most Americans would not be able to pronounce the names of the ingredients listed on the package of the last snack food they consumed. Consumers “ignore certain critical questions about the quality and the cost of what they are sold: How fresh is it? How clean or pure is it, how free of dangerous chemicals? … When the food has been manufactured or “processed” or “precooked,” how has that affected its quality or price or nutritional value?” (Berry, 24) It is of utmost importance that we understand what the food that lines the grocery store shelves is actually
