Also, western "Sushi" is not the same thing as Japanese Sushi.

What Japanese people would consider "normal" Sushi we call Nigiri. These items will make up the majority of consumed items in Japan, where here we would consume primarily rolls.

They do not have these jam packed inside out rolls we see here, the only rolls you'll get in Japan are maki (one or two ingredient, very thin rolls, with the nori on the outside) and you usually only get 2 or 4 pieces at a time for these.

Dammit, now I want to get back to Japan for some good food again.

USA maybe?

Sushi in France looks like Nagiri (not often having the black belt though :-), inverted makis are called California makis.

IDK just reporting in.

I don't think you're correct, I've eaten sushi in a few European countries and it's all been westernized.

If I type in "Sushi Paris" the top three results all show rolls as the primary item on the plates.

Maybe just the place you go to is more traditional?

It is well known that Paris is perfectly representative of all of France.

"Lyon sushi" returns the same results, a large numbers of rolls.

So does "Montpellier sushi"
