    Reminds me that like the California roll, Philadelphia roll and ig using stuff like cream cheese, just wasn’t a thing in Japan, they are American things, but as Japense tourists came to america and had them, they started wanting them back home and some people are pissed Japense sushi is being “Americanized”

      TIL about American sushi. I was wondering why the sushi looked weird, sushi typically has seaweed outside where I live.

      Yep, rolls originally weren’t a thing in Japan. Sushi rolls started with the California Roll, which was invented in Little Tokyo, LA. Traditional Japanese sushi is just rice and fish, with freshly-grated Wasabi sandwiched in between.

        rolls are a thing. it’s different though, with seaweed wrap on the outside, instead of rice. it’s called makizushi.

          You might want to re-read my comment because I carefully worded it. I know that rolls are currently a thing in Japan.

            i know what you meant. i was saying rolls started in Japan, it wasn’t invented by the American. The American just invented a specific style of rolls that have rice on the outside.
