Warren Buffett just made a rare trip to Tokyo. Here's the story of a disastrous sushi dinner that made him swear off Japanese food forever.
Notably, Buffett swore off Japanese food for life after a disastrous sushi dinner in 1989. Alice Schroeder recounted the story in her biography of him,"The Snowball: Warren Buffett and The Business of Life."
As a picky eater, Buffett had attended many events where he ate nothing expect dinner rolls. While he hadn't tried Japanese food, he doubted it would be to his liking. "Course after course arrived, and each of his plates went back, untouched," Schroeder writes."He had not realized there were this many things on the planet that could be eaten raw."
Hours passed, and nothing appeared that was remotely appealing to him. Buffett thought longingly of hamburgers, and dreamed of escaping to his friend's nearby apartment and enjoying some popcorn, peanuts and strawberry ice cream."By the end of fifteen courses, he had still not eaten a bite," Schroeder writes.
