>Is fancy Michelin sushi actually better than normal sushi?
Yes
>I mean it's the same fishies innit?
No

fish quality can matter a lot when consuming raw. can't speak for technique though, surely there's a reason they buy $10000 yanagibas...r-right

No
It's just plated more pretentiously.

Do people still eat this? I thought it was a fad that died.

>fellows: are the burgies one gets at a steakhouse, in fact better than the burgies one gets at micky d's??? I mean, it's burgies, innit???

Probably worse. The safest raw fish sushi is from flash frozen fish. Not from some boutique fresh caught fish. Although most deep sea fish are

I'll let you in on a little secret: I've had both and they're as shit as each other. It doesn't taste good, people are on the pretentious meme bandwagon. Nobody will blink first. It's fucking awful but nobody will ever admit it for fear of being ostracised

The only difference between good sushi and bad sushi is fish quality. There is no talent of skill required to make good sushi, you just have to buy good fish. Any mongoloid retard can make good sushi on their first try; it doesn't take 10 years of apprenticeship.

talent or skill*

yes there is a big difference but it's a huge waste of money. I can't imagine how much it would cost to eat it in new york or chicago, probably $200-$500 per person. while in japan it's like $80 and portions are more generous

Like most fine dining, there are diminishing returns on investment. I've had Michelin starred sushi and while it's good, I'm not sure I would pay that much for it ever again. A $150 omakase at your local nice sushi restaurant is more than enough, especially since so much of sushi comes down to quality of ingredients.

No you're just some retard cooklet that jerks off to Jiro.

I just had a zillenial show me a video of some shoetuber who eats at super exclusive restaurants, where one of his sushis had a writhing worm on it. I guess there are no exclusive sushis. It just tastes good. Beware of worms. [Only happens if not flash-frozen, which all sushi are]

>>20980915
In my experience there's not much difference between the ultra high-end sushi and the mid-tier stuff you can find at a regular (but dedicated) sushi bar. They might have some fancy fish you can't normally get but for the typical offerings, well...there's an upper limit to just how good raw yellowfin tuna can taste.

>it's the same fish
You fucking retard.

Yes.
I went to Sushi Nomura in Taipei last year, it cost >$200usd for 14 nigiri and a few other dishes and it was well worth it imo. No other sushi I've had before or since even comes close.
It's not just higher quality fish, the seasoning of the rice was excellent, the other ingredients were also top notch and complimented each fish very well.
The most interesting was two different mackerel served one after the other. One was just raw with some sort of citrus, the next was lightly smoked with crispy skin and some sort of umami ingredient.
I was also served some nice miso soup before the sushi, and some tasty pumpkin mochi with hojicha for dessert. I also got a small dish in the middle of the sushi courses of steamed shrimp, lotus root, a light dashi, and a savory custard.
The green tea they served was really good as well.
