Sushi Police

[Stark700]

Plot Summary:

The title refers to a term used by western news sources such as The Washington Post to refer to the Japanese government's initiative to offer official seals of approval to overseas Japanese food restaurants. The 2006 initiative was a response to overseas restaurants that labeled themselves as Japanese food restaurants, but served other Asian foods, or just bad food.

As the 2020 Tokyo Olympics leads to a boom in sushi worldwide, the anime's story follows the leader Honda (played by Akira Yamashita), the data analyst Suzuki (Ifumasaka) and the android inspector Kawasaki (Hiromitsu Okamoto) — three men of Section 9 who investigate foreign restaurants. The other characters include the World Food Culture Organization's Director General Carlos and secretary Madam Fuji, and food critic Sarah (Yumi Kikuchi).

I marathoned the first seven episodes, and I have to say it's rather funny, totally not PC, and doesn't take itself to seriously.

Watching Honda and co crack down on inauthentic sushi, because it makes the sushi cry (lol) is funny. Some of those sushi ideas oh my. But with the way episode seven ended and the whole Free Sushi movement and Kawasaki starting to question what is authentic sushi, I can see the show ending with Honda changing his ideals.

The little sushi facts at the end are also a nice addition.
