I don't know exactly what you "heard" about Posh or what was advertised to you, but i think maybe your expectations were a little much if you are making such a big deal about this "authenticity" thing. I mean this is Vancouver and we don't claim to cater to Japanese folks either. You have to consider the diverse cultural backgrounds of the people who eat out. If you really want authenticity, throw a piece of iron in your backyard and cook some meat on it. That's how sukiyaki was started. This is a restaurant though and its a business (duh!), so yes, we will market some ideas that stray from the original concept. For example, we tell every customer we serve ALBERTA grade A beef. (but thats not authentic!! it has to be from japan right?? puh-lease) Giving us flak for being unauthentic just because the workers aren't Japanese and because we threw in some extra veggies in the menu?? is a little far-fetched. I haven't been working here for long but i can tell you i have not seen a single canned vegetable. I don't understand where you come off knowing whether or not our vegetables are organic, but you shouldn't assume anything unless you have evidence to back it up.
