If, instead of Toyota, Mercedes had opened the Georgetown plant, would these hardboots have taken as quickly and enthusiastically to Wiener schnitzel and sauerbraten? Doubtful. Surprisingly, this section of the American heartland was ready for something far more novel and exotic. Something more koto than oompah: the sharp, delicious, pretty, and oceanic taste of sushi, cut and assembled before their eyes by a man from the other side of the earth. Sushi’s bluegrass pioneers adjusted inventively to their Kentucky customers. The Nagasaki Inn’s Tokyo-bred sushi master laughs as he explains how, for a party during the recent Keeneland Sale, he’d managed to sculpt a sushi horse standing in a pasture of pickled Japanese radish.
