When you think of traditional Japanese cuisine, you think of sushi. However, sushi is no longer just a Japanese dish. Nowadays, you can enjoy sushi of a quality comparable to that of Japan in Asian countries. I’m sure you’ve all been impressed by the sushi you ate while traveling overseas. On the other hand, I think there was some shockingly bad sushi (lol).
Therefore, we asked a travel enthusiast who has eaten sushi all over the world to tell us the top 5 Asian countries with the best sushi. Having experienced sushi from all over the world, including high-quality sushi and low-quality sushi, he can tell which country is a great sushi country. The ranking results are as follows.
Top 5 Asian countries with delicious sushi
1st place Japan
As expected, Japanese sushi took first place. To begin with, Japanese sushi is of a high standard, even conveyor belt sushi, and there is sushi that can satisfy everyone. In other countries, the quality of conveyor belt sushi restaurants is so poor that you may even be shocked. It’s understandable why foreign tourists from Asia want to go to Japanese sushi restaurants.
2nd place Taiwan
Taiwanese sushi is of a very high standard, and the freshness of the seafood is comparable to Japan. The skill of sushi chefs has improved year by year, and some people praise the sushi as “tastier and cheaper than in Japan.” Recently, Taiwanese standing sushi restaurants have become very popular.
3rd place Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a gourmet mecca. When it comes to ingredients alone, this is a place where you can find even more wonderful things than in Japan. All that is needed is the skills of the craftsmen and the equipment, and you can achieve a taste that rivals that of Japan or Taiwan. The level of sushi restaurants in Hong Kong is already very high, and there are some that are perfect in terms of freshness, quality of sushi, and customer service.
4th place China
China has hired “skilled sushi chefs” from Japan at high salaries and has succeeded in providing Japanese quality sushi in China. The number of high-end sushi restaurants is increasing, especially in Shanghai and Beijing. The price you are concerned about is not the Chinese price, but the international price. In many cases, it is more expensive than in Japan. However, when it comes to ingredients, it will take a little more skill to distribute and maintain freshness.
5th place Thailand
There are several high-end sushi restaurants in Thailand as well. First of all, Thai people love Japanese food, so sushi is becoming one of the national dishes. You can buy sushi at street food sushi restaurants for the same price as buying Thai food, so that even ordinary people can buy it. The quality of products for ordinary people is commensurate with the price, but if you can afford it, you can also look for the “authentic” product.
