Which criteria is the most important thing when Japanese buy sushi in Tokyo?

Every year I travel to Brussels in December and spend a few days in the company a delgation of high-grade Japanese Kendo teacher.

A couple of years ago I asked them,

What is the most important thing when you buy sushi?

They all said that sushi rice cooked to perfection is the most important thing for them. None of them are interested in eating sushi rice which has a consistency like pudding. They are also not interested in eating sushi rice that is still uncooked in the middle.

For Japanese, they are the perfect sushi ripe firm but soft in consistency. It is consistency that can be difficult to hit if you are not used to boiling sushi rice.

At Sushi course for beginners the attendants learn what it takes to achieve perfect sushi rice.
