There are a number of European hotel restaurants serve smoked salmon or white fish as part of breakfast buffet items, and I have seen the signs that say "smoke sashimi"....
EXACTLY - -because Sushi doesn't refer to FISH in Japan - it refers to the RICE -- which of couse can have anything from beef to eel to fish to veggies on top -- my fav is UNI!! Sashimi has a completely different meaning -- which apparently escapes UA lo...

(I know you know this….just adding to the levity).🤣
LOL I get it -- but trust me 99% of most people don't have a clue - but to my wife it's life or death lol.... The Japanese are so precise -- sushi is sushi -- maki is maki - and nigiri is nigiri.... You totally got me on the details -- which I guarantee almost no one but you and I get - except perhaps for the JP forum...
