http://www.nma.tv/ Japan's sushi industry is to launch a campaign this month aimed at protecting the reputation of sushi, citing concerns that the national dish may develop a reputation as a dangerous food. A group of experts plans to hold its first seminar in Singapore, followed later in the year by meetings in London, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Critics see this and other previous certification attempts as bids by Japan to establish itself as the world's "sushi police."

  • Die in Unsanitary food.

    HAHAHA.

    Only japan is safe.

    

  • Pizza police(TSG in EU) already exists. Italy, France and Thailand have same certification system. Whenever Japan does something it is accused for being xenophobic.

    Handling raw fish is not easy for cook who does not have knowledge and experience. Japanese chefs usually get trained about 15 years before opening her/his own sushi restaurant. If not the meal could be mortal.

    So what is wrong with giving the certification to safe sushi restaurant ?

  • wtf?

  • This video is stupid because there're too many Japanese people eating Sushi at restaurants owned by Koreans.

  • Personally I don't care Chinese or Koreans manage fake Japanese restaurants. If you eat terrible taste sushi or get poisoning there, it's your fault to choose the place. But I swear once you have authentic Japanese sushi, you won't go to fake sushi bar.

  • Japan should do something about these new "fusion" sushis, they suck.

  • There are so many horrible Korean crap fake sushi in US. It's really embarrassing to see such a crap at that price. To handle raw fish, you need the proper knowledge and the technique. It is necessary to do so.

  • This video is pointless.

    Japan was concerned about the raw fish's hygiene.

    Technique is significant. For example, the speed of cooking, temperature, vinegar and wasabi are meaningful.

    If Italian says "It's not a Italian pizza", Japanese just says "Yes, so what?".

    Most Japanese knows that it was arranged.

    Why Taiwanese are afraid of sushi police? He just says "It's not japanese sushi".

    If Taiwanese sushi have a good taste and health management, people will come to eat.
