"Comfort Food" in the US usually refers to childhood favorite meals or inexpensive, and usually not super-healthy meals.
When I think comfort food I think grilled-cheese sandwiches, tator-tots, McDonald's cheeseburgers, frozen pizza, Mac and Cheese... So I wouldn't call sushi a "comfort food"...though I eat it as often as I can. I think it is too healthy, expensive and rarely made by mom at home to fit that catagory (at least in the US)

well hello this is a question for someone who lives in japan. i was watching a video on youtube explaining like how you should act at a sushi bar of sorts. and it said that you should ask what the chef has that is illagal... and than it said that there is sometimes sushi from panda, seaturtle, and some endangered snake. i just wanted to know if people actually sell stuff like that?

the most important ingredients for sushi are toasted nori (seaweed), short-grain rice, sugar, rice vinegar, and whatever else you would like in your sushi. sashimi is the kind of sushi that everyone thinks of; it is the "raw fish" variation. (in reality, the fish is actually cured by the rice vinegar in the rice). for sashimi, you must get "sashimi grade" FRESH fish. fresh fish will not stink and it will have a nice pure colour; it wont look faded and it will be as firm as fish can be. my reccomendations for fish to have in sashimi are tuna and salmon. there are MANY, MANY, MANY different ingredients to put in sushi!!! popular ingredients are: Asparagus
Avocado Carrot Crab - Soft Shelled Crab, Crab Stick Crawfish Cream Cheese Cucumber Daikon - Radish Eel - Unagi Eel Sauce Egg - Tamago Green Onion - Scallion Jalapeno - Stuffed Jalapeno Kampyo - Dried Gourd Kiwi Lemon - Lemon Juice, Lemon Slices Lettuce Lobster Masago - Smelt Fish Roe, Fish Eggs Mayonaisse Pepper - Black Pepper Salmon Salmon Skin Salt - Sea Salt Seafood Mix Sesame Seeds Shrimp - Tempura Shrimp Squash Squid Sweet Sauce Togarashi - Spice Tuna Vinegar Wasabi Yamagobo - Roots Yellowtail - Hamachi i hope that this helps a lot! i really enjoy making and eating sushi, so i hope that you can too! as for ramen, you need to go to japan to get the good stuff; they spend about 24 hrs. making the soup and they make fresh noodles. but you can get maruchan brand ramen in many flavors that you can cook on the stove, or that you can boil water to pour into a cup filled with ramen noodles and seasons. i also really like a kimichi flavor of ramen, but i dont remember what brand it is!!!! I hope all of this helps!  star
