Japanese authorities are aghast at what passes for Japanese food in
much of the rest of the world, today's Washington Post [1]reports.
A fast-growing list of gastronomic indignities -- from sham sake in
Paris to shoddy sashimi in Bangkok -- has prompted Japanese
authorities to launch a counterattack in defense of this nation's
celebrated food culture. With restaurants around the globe
describing themselves as Japanese while actually serving food that
is Asian fusion, or just plain bad, the government here announced a
plan this month to offer official seals of approval to overseas
eateries deemed to be "pure Japanese." . . .
So beware, America, home of the California roll. The Sushi Police
are on their way.
