Sushi is an important but by no means all encompassing part of Japanese cuisine. I have eaten many Japanese meals at outstanding Japanese restaurants in NY, Tokyo and Kyoto with little or no sushi. I would suggest rather than the fake sushi focus on making some nice tempura or soba/udon dish or robato stye grilled meats. It will be much more likely to come out delicious. It's making me hungry just thinking about it.
