Am very into sushi. Like 70% of the sushi places I go to have deep fried sushi on offer. It seems mildly sacrilegious personally but hey, it must be good
It’s like how 95% of the “Chinese” places you go probably have General Tsaos chicken. It is not Chinese. Invented in Murica for Muricans. Deep fried sushi is the same. The restaurants in the US offer it because others offer it and the American pallet likes it.
You would be promptly murdered in Japan for asking for such a dish. Probably being the reason the restaurant puts up a “no foreigners allowed” sign from then on, which is actually common.
Same county that loves Tempura, but deep fried sushi is sacrilegious. Go figure.

Most of the Japanese and Korean owned sushi places I go to offer deep fried roll options. Do they not do this on the other side of the pacific?

It does seem like sacrilege but every now and then I will order them. They aren’t bad.

It’s very popular here in Brazil, with a characteristic overabundance of cream cheese

Never heard of that before, but then again I’m not hugely into sushi so might have missed something
That said, it sounds very American to take some random thing and deepfry it

Depends which side you are asking about.
