    I don’t think you’re correct, I’ve eaten sushi in a few European countries and it’s all been westernized.

    If I type in “Sushi Paris” the top three results all show rolls as the primary item on the plates.

    Maybe just the place you go to is more traditional?

      More than a little selection bias is in play there. You’ve found restaurants with advertising budgets, which in many places is not representative of restaurants overall. I’d wager the bias is even stronger in big tourist cities.

        I checked other French cities and got the same results. Care to link me to a casual dining sushi restaurant that doesn’t serve rolls in France?

          No Just saying that you are incorrect is the way to go even here now.

        “Lyon sushi” returns the same results, a large numbers of rolls.

        So does “Montpellier sushi”

      In my European country you’ll order sushi as nigiri at any cornershop sushi place.

      It’s most often sold as a set, where there’s typically 4 pieces of some roll with three ingredients and nori on the outside (but variations are not uncommon).

      It’s quite close to what I’ve had in Japan. Although fish quality is very different.

        If you order nigiri, and get 4 pieces of roll with it, then your still getting something very diferent than you’d see in Japan.

        Sushi (nigiri) almost exclusively comes in single or pair units in Japan, and I’ve never seen them come with rolls (even maki)

            Clearly they differ, I only lived there twice for a little than a year each time though, so maybe you have more time spent there than me.
