Isekai Nihon - Vol. 1 Ch. 6

"Japanese food good" trope aside, that fish monster almost looks like it came straight out of Gyo.

The sushi strikes back!!

Japanese food, we get it. However...

IRL tips, I don't recommend personally bringing anyone to eat raw meat should it be their first time, it's an acquired taste, so ask them first. I think author is an weirdo.

As far a simple bad writing goes, though, we have two MCs who are supposedly excellent fighters, but who displayed gross lack of situational awareness in this instalment and that previous to it.

This. A thousand times this. Especially the MC who's not just supposed to be an excellent fighter but a trained assassin. He's really not going to pay enough attention to notice the guy in full armor sitting directly across from him?

So much this. My wife likes certain sushi, she is fine eating raw seafood to a degree but even she is very selective about it. Me, nope, I stop at the smell because I hate the smell of fish and raw seafood. She's tried to get me several times to try her favorite sushi and I just can't bring myself to do it. Not even the cooked ones. Like you said, it's an acquired taste and outside of Japan, a select few of people will just immediately enjoy it. Most will do it as an exploration of different cultural dishes, just like with other food across the world.

I dunno why it feels so normal, like what is the rest of the world doing?

Judging by this manga so far, probably things like yelling at the Balrog in the intersection to stop blocking traffic.

Japan may pride itself on the stereotype of being exceedingly polite, but the chef not commenting on how those glowing panels kept popping up in front of the MC everytime the two Otherworlders spoke is next level.

Here we have one of the worst clichés of manga: the superiority of rice and raw fish as the most delicious food in the entire universe and beyond (hell no). And don't forget the wonderful revolutionary chopsticks technology.

Skip this chapter, or drop the whole thing? Here's the question...
