That aside, I do wish I could go to a real sushi restaurant and a real raamen one.
Oh yeah, speaking of "non-Japanese" running Japanese like places. I was watching No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain, and he went to a sushi restaurant in either Texas or New Mexico that was run and owned by a Chinese woman, and the sushi chefs were all Mexican. An interesting combination, eh?

That's how it is in 90% of "Japanese" restaurants I know of in the US.
ETA: Don't feel bad about saying no to natto if it's offered to you. Everyone will understand
