The lack of wasabi in the maki and nigiri did strike a jarring tone for me too.

Pathetic Nigiri.

Totally! I've never had fish sliced that thin on nigiri.
And no wasabi in the middle.
This must be sushi for little old white lady tea parties.

Tried making sushi once. Lost parts of my brain to a wasabi accident.

@bareboards2 His profile says he was indeed born in Tokyo and lived here through college. I think he may be hamming up his English accent for the video though (can't be sure... I can't find any other vids of him speaking English on his profile page). That's what threw me when watching this vid--his accent made him sound like he was pretending to be Japanese.

@hpqp Well played. I still don't get it though. Any native-born Japanese person should know the difference between the two. And most non-Japanese speaking folk (who don't work in the field of design) won't have any clue what wabi-sabi is.

Judging from the comments on YouTube it was pretty hit or miss for most people. Some non-Japanese speaking people assumed he was making fun of foreigners who can't pronounce wasabi correctly. Daisuke himself posted a comment (in Japanese) saying he believes 50 in 1 non-Japanese people will think this video is serious. Most of the Japanese commenters think it was funny though.

Goodness! Someone understands the power of WASABI!

Thanks for the double promote. I have never been bestowed with one before! I don't think... memory being what it is.

Thanks

Same guy discusses wasabi....

>> ^chtierna:

I wonder whats worse, the lemon in the eyes or the salt in the nose...
snorting wasabi mixed with soy sauce in the nose is worse

Or if you happen to like it with extra soy or wasabi.

Catch it in one of those non-fatal traps then call over to the house/flat of some horrible person you know, but for some stupid social contractual reason, you must must socialise with. And when they go to make you a coffee, or go to use the loo, unleash the mouse! Presto! No need to make a trip to the countryside, no need for a cat, no worries about the mouse realising that you can't bring yourself to kill it and the mouse probably won't care who's left over wasabi peas it's eating. And you get to stick it to some asshole who probably deserves it. Win-win

a nice bed of rice, some seaweed, and wasabi . . .

(BTW, anyone else notice the "Mr. Bill" voice?)

Hey, thanks for reminding me about pickled okra! I use to eats jar after jar of those until I got two gritty jars of them in a row. I think it's time to get back on that horse...thanks!

Methinks you have not spent much time in Oklahoma. That is where I'm from, and I love the stuff (pickled okra). There are many more just like me there (at least in that regard).

I give in teasing you. You have your vote.

Fans of pixelated sex around the world thank you.

This gets the wasabi tag because at first you feel violated, but then you find yourself coming back for more.
