The real, traditional Japanese food, which I surmise few have actually had, is no more of Chinese origin than I am. It was simply a product of the three things that Japan had access to: fish, salt and rice. |

I like Onigiri with umeboshi inside.
Too bad I can't buy it. |

I am also a big fan of natto.
I don't think natto is Chinese. Might be wrong. |

People from southern/western Japan generally regard natto much as I do barbequed parakeets. |

That sentence right there disqualifies everything said in your post. How can a food connoisseur like you make such an outrageous comment? Supermarket sushi (even in glorious Seattle) tastes like crap to anyone with any kind discriminating taste in sushi. Sushi should NEVER be mass-produced and it must always be eaten fresh. As in immediately. Throw on some packaging, throw it in the counter, and within 15-30 minutes the texture and flavor go all to hell.

The Chinese patented steaming food? Interesting.
