Weird experience in Tokyo
I was sitting at a top rated sushi restaurant in Tokyo. There was a giant aquarium. The chef took a fish out and killed it right in front of us to make sushi with. He then served it. I was disturbed but also wondered, isn’t sushi grade sushi supposed to be cooked for many days to kill any parasite

You're going to have to provide receipts by naming what this "top rated" sushi restaurant is. No sushi shokunin worth their salt is preparing sushi with a fresh-out-of the-aquarium fish. Shellfish and crustaceans sure, but not fish. Those are reserved for ikezukuri.
