That roll has cream cheese inside. It's already considered a capital offense in Japan.

Japan’s most popular fairly-priced national sushi chain is doing things much more wild than ranch on a rotating monthly basis. Every time I’m in Japan for work I stop in to Sushiro just to see what they’re doing this month that would make American weebs angry.

That's my thought. There's nothing more offensive about ranch than using cream cheese.

I used to live in Japan, and from what I could see, Japanese people aren't fundamentally opposed to the concept of sushi with weird ingredients. They simply just don't think it's normal sushi.

It's like people watched Jiro: Dreams of Sushi and assumed that all sushi in Japan is like that

Right? I'm Canadian. Poutine is a culture here, especially Quebec (Where I lived for a short time). Poutine is straight fries, fresh cheese curds, and gravy. That's it.

You can totally add whatever you want to it. Plenty of restaurants exist to make pulled pork or extra loaded poutine. Want to add green onions? Ceaser dressing? Tater tots? Have at er, bud. Just don't call it a traditional poutine.

I make sushi at home. I used to work in a sushi shop full time. We had all the traditional rolls for people but also some off the cuff ones like with cream cheese and such.
