it’s as “korean” thing as it is “american” thing, or anywhere else people eat it.
but it originated in japan
i don’t care if my sushi chef is japanese or korean or mexican or anything else. if it’s fresh and doesn’t fall apart when i pick it up, then it’s sushi
Korea developed kimbap during Japan’s colonial rule in the early 1900s although had previous analogues during the Chosŏn period. Still, I could imagine that Japanese sushi with raw fish is enjoyed in Korea like it is in America.
There isn’t a bunch of sushi places in Korea, at least not unless it’s a recent trend. Typically Koreans eat Saengseon-hoe which is more like sashimi, or if they’re doing rice it would be Hoe-deopbap. Which is like bibimbop with sashimi.
Japan and Korea have a colonial and post-colonial relationship, so ethnic Koreans who have lived for generations in Japan knowing how to make authentic sushi isn’t that much of a surprise.
And Japanese culture is one of its great exports throughout the world in recent decades, so people throughout the world how to make good sushi.
Benihana has training centers throughout the world. Most Benihana performative cooks around here in California are Latino. Some have even opened their own independent teppanyaki restaurants.
Not supporting this meme, but isn’t Sushi a Korean thing as well?
