my relative once koshered a nearby sushi place for a simcha (supposed to be an excellent sushi place) and that was the best sushi I ever had. I like sushi but I don't crave it...I don't think I would order it in a restaurant if there were other choices. Its a nice lunch option for me. Its definitely a healthier option then many other take out foods.

Sushi is like a Woody Allen movie- for every person that genuinely likes it, there are 10 more just pretending to in order to seem sophisticated

You really think so? In our family, we all love sushi, including the kiddos.

Nah. She's just being obnoxious.
I doubt that sushi is considered a food for a sophisticated palate. Then again, I don't think that Woody Allen films are he exclusive province of sophisticated viewers.
I love good sushi, because I like the taste. others don't like the taste. End of story. Why are people trying to make it into anything more than that?

2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
This is the proportion used when preparing the rice.
You can fool yourself you are eating healthy and salt and sugar are appealing to the taste buds.
Frum people cook fish with sugar and salt for traditional Shabbos food. Salads are often loaded with sugar and salt as are other foods. It is kind of a natural transition to other fish eaten the same. Vegetables with salt and sugar are a bonus.

I like it because my whole family likes it and it's a quick go to dinner when I don't have anything else in the house. I've only had it out in a restaurant once, I can't see buying it when it's so easy and cheap to make at home.

Why are you amother for this??
My diet doctor took apart a roll of sushi to debunk any health myths. It was a full serving of rice and about 2 tablespoons of protein and veggies. Not terribly healthy after all.
Oh, and for Monsey sushi I like Evergreen and Rockland Kosher tempura rolls. I wouldn't do raw.

^^ This is what I call healthy. Yes, there are carbs. Your brain needs carbs. Havelai most people ate that healthy as sushi. But again, I'm not from diet and fit culture, at ALL.

2 cups for normal sushi.
Chai sushi which amother is touting seems to use more sugar and salt. It is not subtle at all. It hits you over the head and overwhelms the fish. I understand the restaurant pleasing its clientele.

I think the popularity of sushi is part of the Brooklyn frum community herd mentality.
Once someone is doing something EVERYONE is doing it and jumps on the bandwagon. There's no such thing as something that appeals to some people's taste but not to everyone's.
This has happened to me a few times when I shop in BP/Flatbush (not very often). I ask for a certain item, style of clothing, etc.
The saleslady tells me, "Why do you want THAT? We don't carry THAT. EVERYONE is wearing this."
Once they've decreed that "everyone" is wearing a certain style, be it a type of shoes, black clothing, etc., suddenly no other option is available because "NOBODY" is buying it.
Same for EVERYONE eating sushi.

I just looked up a few recipes, and it seems this is the proportion for 2 cups raw rice, or 4 cups cooked sushi rice.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/rec......html
Or that is the ratio for 3 cups uncooked rice, or 6 cups cooked rice, according to this recipe:
http://makemysushi.com/index.p......html
And they say that 1 cup uncooked rice = 3 rolls. So it's really not so much sugar all in all.
Maybe the places around you make it sweeter?

I hate to stereotype, but I'm inclined to agree. My non-frum relatives find it hilarious that you can buy sushi in any kosher pizza shop. Apparently, non-kosher restaurants don't randomly carry sushi. Japanese restaurants or "Asian fusion" places, yes; but any other cuisine to which sushi is unrelated, no. Also, the average non-Jewish "simcha" generally doesn't have a sushi bar like every frum simcha since 1997. It's like someone decided sushi is so in EVERYONE has to have it, even if youre a hole in the wall pizza shop. It's rather tedious at this point. I used to love sushi, now I am almost totally uninterested because it became overdone.

Never saw sushi in a pizza shop here in Israel. But I do like Agenda at the entrance to Caesaria. Combo coffee shop + sushi bar.
http://agenda.rest.co.il/
Minato is also excellent: http://minato.co.il/ .
I used to love Yoko Uno in Ramat Gan, but they closed years ago.

I use different proportions for the rice vinegar( half a cup for 3 cups of uncooked rice).
1/4 cup of sugar and a bit of salt.
I like making sushi at home and prepare it on quite a regular basis.
We don't have a sushi place here, one restaurant used to have it, but not anymore.
