There is a difference between the traditional edomae sushi style that Jiro prepares and the typical style and taste of sushi served in the majority of US sushi restaurants

I'm not saying that the sushi you get at Sukiyabashi Jiro is the same as you'd get at a shopping mall in Cleveland. I'm just pointing out that the term "Edomae sushi" covers both those offerings. You don't get to redefine a common Japanese term just because you went to an expensive sushi restaurant once.
