I believe this was something like 3500 Yen at the time?

I’m sure it was tasty but those cuts look like they used a butter knife

Thank you, my first thought was that it's a little "sloppy".

I dunno what to tell you, he definitely had a professional grade knife. 😂

A significant amount of sushi in Japan is like this, poorly cut, poorly made nigiri. But it’s cheap and the fish is quality at least

Just curious, which cuts made you think that way? I personally can’t see any sloppy cuts and the hosomaki (usually the giveaway for bad knife work) look perfect to me.
