Sushi in Seoul — not sure how authentic this is, but I enjoyed it anyway
not sure if it’s authentic Japanese or slightly Koreanized, but I enjoyed it anyway

That is not tea bag. Fake wasabi. But running out of complaints.

I’ve been enjoying sushi for more than twenty years. I’ve yet to tell the difference(s) between sushi made by Japanese, Korean, or Chinese chefs.
I also can’t tell the difference(s) between pizza made by Italians and Albanians.

The gamtae under the uni stands out as Korean to the naked eye. This particular mix of fish is standard inexpensive Korean sushi though, most of it comes from frozen. You can find some small neighbourhood izakayas in Korea nowadays that serve non-frozen fish for a little more than this.
Usually the garnishes also give away the Korean-ness, as the Korean supply chain has a particular mix of products and so cheap Korean sushi places often give pickled rakkyo, little pickled peppers, some put capers and white onion if they serve a lot of raw salmon, and the wasabi in Korea is ‘Wasabits’ from a squeeze tube.
