Un chef din Petroșani, campion mondial la sushi în Japonia, vorbește despre greșelile făcute în restaurantele românești specializate: „Orezul contează mai mult decât peștele”

Vlad Tănasie, a Romanian sushi chef, won the World Sushi Cup in Japan, emphasizing the importance of rice over fish in sushi preparation. He critiques common misconceptions in Romanian sushi restaurants, noting that sushi rolls originated in North America, not Japan. Tănasie highlights the need for quality rice, which is often overlooked in favor of expensive fish. He also discusses the cultural differences in sushi consumption, explaining that many Romanians misuse soy sauce and ginger, masking the true flavors of sushi. Despite challenges in sourcing fresh ingredients in Romania, he believes the situation has improved significantly in recent years, allowing for better quality sushi.
