The EFTA offers no protections in a case where the product you purchased is defective or not delivered. It protects you only from liability due to errors made by one end of the financial transaction or the other, and unauthorized transactions like a stolen card or number.

Ok then, what's the problem? Chargeback, eat the $50 (or whatever the fee is over there), and don't panic.

In the US our strongest protections come from a law called the "fair credit billing act" which doesn't apply to debit cards, checking accounts, etc. -- only to credit cards.

Oh hah, sorry. I can't think of anything like that offhand, but another example of the same sort of Japanese approach to food naming is the "yaki" suffix which means cooking but usually means frying when used in the name of the food, giving you yakiniku (fried meat), yakitori (fried chicken), yakisoba (fried soba noodles), etc.

ETA: yakitori is more like grilled chicken than fried, which is called karage, but.. can't win 'em all.

Doesn't have to be raw fish, can be virtually any topping.

That's not "sushi", it's maki.

Nigiri and maki are both types of sushi; they're just abbreviations for the full names "nigirizushi" and "makizushi".
