To you, nobody else has expressed ANYTHING remotely similar to your opinion don't know if you realize that you agreed that Care and Patience which is what wrapping the perishable food they have laid out for people to grab freely with their hands' shows while equally being put off by it, despite it not altering its taste in any negative way and in fact it's there to seal in the fresh taste to begin with, which you find unappealing, for whatever reason because there isn't any hint of it.

I agree that its a matter of hygiene, if they are wrapped it certainly won't get any dirt, japanese people tend to put a lot of value on sanity!

I have to admit that Asian in general tend to overpack things. which is not good for the environment.

If it's cellulose then it's fine :D
