We've all been bamboozled!

Doesn't just happen with tea. Once I asked a sushi chef "who made the knife you're using", the response was "Japanese people".

... now that's a knife!

But then again, you likely know Japanese knives better than this sushi chef?

Like we know tea better than most Chinese restauranteurs.

Hey most people think that tea is black, green or herbal. And thats it.

Reminds me of beeing in a realy exclusive steakhouse where I asked "What wines do you have?". The waiter just answered "Red and White". Whow - I took a beer to my steak.

...which is kinda scary. Most sushi chefs take great pride in their cutlery.

To avoid confusion and have a better tea I bring my own loose leave puerh to my Chinese restaurant. The owner just smiles.

Who knows wheather he is a real sushi master. The education in Japan lasts seven years! And if he has learnd it he has to know "a little" about knives
Here in Graz there is only one real sushi master in one real Japanese sushi restaurant. It realy makes a difference in quality. But most of our people don't know.

I agree, in Japan the standards for sushi chefs are very high... so I would assume people who don't want to be an apprentice for 5 years could just move to the USA and open a restaurant without all the experience.

Oh wow... I probably would have gotten vodka to try to get the memory of that awful waiter/training staff out of my head
