Sushi has evolved here in the United States. Sushi has become its own food here, now its almost as American as apple pie. Crazy combinations of ingredients can be found inside with bizzare names like Caterpillar roll, Spider roll, Surfs Up roll. But beyond the crazy names and ingredients, the style of sushi has changed.
American sushi is LARGER in general. The individual pieces are usually too big to eat in one bite. The sushi rice is a little sweeter. More emphasis is put on the quantity of sushi and less on quality and eye appeal.
But change is not always bad. This evolved sushi has traveled back to Japan to become trendy American Sushi. There are sushi bars that cater specifically to the American Sushi craze, complete with loud rock and roll music and Sake Bombs (Large beer with shot of Sake {Rice Wine} inside) .
Sushi is a trend that will not go away anytime soon. With its low fat, healthy character and delicious taste sushi really is the food of the future.
