My Grandma has a story of when she was young she and her girlfriends went out to try the big new, exotic food called "pizza". Out of all of her friends, only one would even take a bite. They were planning to take some home to another friend, but it stunk up the car so much that my Grandma and her buddy thew it out.

There is a subtle joke here that literally got clipped out of frame. In the original 4:3 aspect ratio, you had a complete view of Homer's plate. As he is getting caught up in the new flavors and textures, the animators draw Homer grabbing the same slice of sushi roll, again, and again, and again.
Was it poking fun at Japanese anime, I remember watching Pokemon and that's how they eat. They'll be like on thing on the plate and the character will eat and the one thing won't go anywhere.

This episode I think was quite a snap shot how through the run of The Simpsons, culinary and food culture (specifically in the United States) has changed and evolved. In this episode Sushi was seen as something "exotic", "different", and "adventurous" but in the more recent episodes Sushi is something Homer casually eats.
This is also a great reflection of just life in suburbs back then, before Instagram foodies both exposed everyone to new things AND ruined eating out. Whenever a new ethnic restaurant opened, people were always skeptical. I first had sushi in high school when a place opened up in my town and my reaction was the same.

It’s just the chefs saying welcome (also btw, the n at the end of irasshaimase makes it a negative, just so you know [Google translate says it makes ‘he is not here’ lol])
As someone alive at the time - the U.S. was absolutely insane in the early 90s… But a little bit more positivity in the insanity instead of doom and gloom everywhere…
I've only seen old Simpsons episodes from decades ago and it was great fun because, beneath everything, the family essentially loved each other anyway. Later, I saw an episode of "Family Guy". After 15 seconds, one of the characters killed himself with a pistol, brains and blood scattering everywhere. Maybe I was just unlucky with that particular episode. But yeah despite limited knowledge I agree with @emanuel82 that things went insane after the "old" Simpsons.
@ But it was before internet. Everyone that lived before internet and mobilephones knows there was a complete different world back then. I would say the world before internet was the last piece of the first industrial world. People born after internet has no connection whatsoever to that world.
"Anywhere but hamburgers, pizza or fried chicken." Sounds like my grandmother, she was never fond of fast food, she was more of the fancy dinner/sit down type.
Thats is true i went to Japan nearly 10 years ago with friends from collage, and we tried this 6 course puffer fish meal all fugu based i tell you its one of the best meals i ever had. We even saw, how the chef prepares and boy that old man really prepares.
They're working on farmed pufferfish, which is free of the poisonous compound. The pufferfish accumulates the poison in the wild from the organisms it consumes.
Wild Puffer Fish cost a fortune, but tamed Puffer Fish do not, the tamed ones have stitched mouths, some restaurants unstitch tamed Puffer fish and sell them as Wild Puffer Fish for the higher price.
Bart and Lisa both claim that sushi is raw fish. This is a common misconception; raw-fish dishes are sashimi, sushi (which can be made with raw fish, cooked fish, vegetables etc.) are vinegared-rice dishes.
When sushi was first introduced to the West, the story was that it was raw fish. Hence why the misconception. People went to eat it, thinking the fish wasn't cooked. The word "sashimi" would enter the lexicon much much later
Japanese people sushi is always raw fish. There’s places that do “western” style sushi with fried foods, cheeses, mayos and different fruits and vegetables, but most Japanese people differentiate “authentic” sushi with “western” ones. I love both though
There are very very few sushi restaurants outside Japan that are licensed to prepare fugu. In the US I think there are only three, two in NYC and one in LA
I've tried eel, it's pretty good. Just as long as it's not jellied. So are octopus balls, and squid. Never tried sharkfin soup and I don't think I ever will, they're kind of endangered now.
“If I said no the first time, what makes you think I’m gonna say yes the second time?” Remarkably logical statement from Homer, but then this WAS only the second season.
From what I'm told and experienced, a Japanese craftsman wouldn't be quite so colorful when he's telling his apprentice he messed up (he usually doesn't teach anything either). They'd typically go into a huge tirade and yell "You moron, how dare you insult the customer" for about 15 minutes, then apologize to the customer.
How did the Simpsons afford fugu? Keep in mind that the process to serve it requires years of training. If you mess up the serving, it could kill a customer. Which is why it is expensive, average around 5000 yen which is around 50 USD.
It's really not that expensive. I visited Japan and ate it (albeit karaage, I'm not sure if frying it is a safer method than as a sashimi) and while I can't remember the exact price for the specific dish, the most I paid for an entire meal was like ¥15000 (about £80 in my home currency)
I used to hate sushi until I found out you can get it without raw fish 😂 The baked tuna roll, California roll, and shrimp tempura roll are my absolute favorites 🤤
The gag at 1:40 Homer shouting hello back to the Japenese chefs made me weirdly homesick. I never acknowledged how many restaurants and bars shouted hello/welcome/etc. Back in my home country. Even when I worked as a server in an Asian bistro in America, it was customary to be polite and quiet. Thanks for the chuckle, classic simpsons, and the memories.
It's a sign of the times it was made, that even Lisa thinks that sushi is "raw fish" (the raw fish is not sushi but Sashimi, and it's actually really nice - has a lovely delicate and clean taste). Sushi is rice with meat and/or vegetables, and often Nori (dried seaweed) in bite-sized portions. The meat can be cooked chicken or beef, or cooked fish/seafood, or sashimi, or less commonly raw beef.
Theres so many signs of the 90's the fact that sushi such a foreign concept to them, lisa constantly writing poetry with her dialogue, homer being unapologetically american
i remember when i first took my father to a japanese restaurant he was just like homer that was until i gave him a few recommendations based on the food ive seen in animes. his only regret was going to a japanese restaurant that was next to a steak house. wants to try something different but then we were smelling and craving steaks with a1 sauce

Always crack up when Akira says, "not today." Seems to imply they sometimes DO have giant squid that drag men to their deaths.

They do serve squid that drags men to their deaths.. just our fishermen weren’t lucky enough to catch them/survive today
I wonder if the meal was complimentary after the fugu mishap. Homer ordered everything on the menu. That bill would have been enormous

Seasons 1 to 8 of The Simpsons are the best.

Exactly right ✅️ My very first thought!
I ate fugu once, in Osaka.
I didn't think it was worth much... It tasted just like any other white fish.
Well, you're here to tell the tale so the chef must've done something right.
I think it's more the novelty and the possibility you might die than anything else that makes it so "special"
