为什么遍布美国的日本料理店几乎全是闽商操盘？

        为什么遍布美国的日本料理店几乎全是闽商操盘？

         日本料理店在美国星罗棋布。

         日本料理一枝独秀以营养、卫生、美味为特点独具亚洲饮食文化特色大受美国大众青睐。 然而开店老板绝大多数为福建闽商。绝少有日本人。

         日本人为什么很少来美国开日本料理店？

         我想是日本人因本国生活条件优越，移民意识自然就淡薄。日本人在汽车、电子等方面已处于世界领先地位，故在餐饮等次级产业上已缺乏并丧失了角逐的动力。

          以第三只眼观察：闽商抢占日本料理在美国的经营空间实属鸠占鹊巢的行为。雀鸟有巢久置不用，斑鸠占之应似有理。

          闽商是中国福建商人的简称。他们很会做生意，敢拼敢闯是出了名的。知名闽商郭鹤年说：华裔就像地球上一群能创造经济奇迹的蚂蚁。  他说的华裔实际上是指闽商。 

          闽商在美国大开日本料理店是拾遗补缺，顺应美国消费大众的饮食文化需求。天时、地利、人和统统具备故能成此气候。  

          许多美国消费者对东方亚洲饮食的认知是粗放型的。他们喜欢日本料理也喜欢中华美食。亚洲美食有许多模糊点，这也对闽商经营日餐店提供了很大的灵活空间。

          日本料理店一般都装修讲究，价位中档，经营策略高出一筹。

       很多开店成功者因而发迹。如最近我见到一位开日本料理店的福建女老板，她说，她已连开了三家店。半年增加一家。她说开业那天店外排起了长队。一天300碗拉面营业额就$5000。

         不过我尝了那拉面，汤好鲜美。不过面条不是拉面，是美国普通的挂面。我想起了一句中国北方俗语：快了萝卜不洗泥。

       老美消费者真可爱。

       他们的包容性和兼容性世界第一。

我们这边白人超市都卖sushi的，找的中国人做，看着很简单的样子。不知道肉有没有零下20度杀菌杀寄生虫。

精明能干的福州乡亲发现日餐卖鱼一片片地卖，手工制作也没有什么难度，自己的语言差不多像日语，关键是本小利大，为啥不搞日餐？傻瓜！

日本料理店不用像粤菜海鲜店要请大厨，活龙虾，鲍鱼要好的大厨才能做好，请大厨费用高，日本料理店面积小，租金相对便宜，福建人敢拼，很有可能拉面的汤是味精调制，炸物寿司不好说，开日本料理店成本技术低是很大因素。

俺家附进的日本餐馆大多都是日本人开的，日本师傅。菜品和服务都非常棒。也有一家中国人开的日本餐馆，太差了。

现在日本逐渐走回发展中国家梯队，日本媒体上也说不少日本厨师乃至护士都想去欧美赚钱，几倍的工资差距，只不过语言不行，门路不多，也不像中国移民有冲劲，真正成行的有但不多。

我家附近的sushi 店是一个日本家庭经营了二代人的，我的邻居女孩子长大了，也在那做part time 的waitress ，增加点她读研究生的零花钱，她母亲是日裔。另外在Kirkland 附近的也是日本夫妇经营的。两家都非常地道。

We have a Japanese guy who opened a Ramen shop, quite popular. It's not nicely furnished, just a hole in the wall type of restaurant. Very small inside, with a few tables. I have to mention we are not a big city, just a military town in the Southeast. So yeah, there are Japanese chefs in the U.S too and they're not fancy people, just like anyone else here. There was a sushi bar in Georgia where I used to go, even the waitresses were all Japanese. They shouted Japanese when customers came in. The sushi chefs were all Japanese too. Actually I don't go to a Japanese restaurant run by Chinese people. Once I found out it's owned by Chinese, I'd never go back again. In our city even the places like Miyabi Jr. are run by pacific islanders like Samoa, not the Chinese. Only Chinese takeouts and Japanese takeouts like Osaka Express are run by Chinese people from FuJian. And
I loath those people. Literally. Because I worked with them 23 years ago as a new immigrant. They're not the people that fit with my taste. They are crude, uneducated people from the rural areas of China. And there's nothing that matched my own background. My family was intellectuals, living in big cities. So the experience was unpleasant, to say the least, to be put together with them, even for a short period of time. They only know how to make money and nothing else. Some of them never lived a life besides cuddling in the small kitchen and flipping the wok. I can't describe how simple their minds are. One guy didn't even know how to perform as a man on the bed because he spent most of his teen and adult life chopping veges. He was smuggled in as a teenager and stopped at that age mentally forever. He did crawl onto my bed one morning but stopped short of doing anything else but laying down there. Poor thing. He knew he wanted something but what that is was unclear to his simple mind. Is it love, intimacy, or whatnot? Or to find a partner to make money together? He didn't have the ability to sort it out at 26 years old.
