  Normally I would agree, but I think they were referring to "bamboo kun" which is how the bamboo plant fights off fungi and was thought to provide some antimicrobial properties, although at least in textiles seems to be ineffective [0] [0] https://bioresources.cnr.ncsu.edu/BioRes_08/BioRes_08_4_6501_Xi_Qin_Antibacterial_Perform_Natural_Bamboo_Fiber_4310.pdf https://bioresources.cnr.ncsu.edu/BioRes_08/BioRes_08_4_6501...

    If your sushi is sitting around long enough to start molding, you've got some logistics issues to resolve.

    darkpuma already expressed the general idea but yeah--- if one piece of food has a bacterial/fungal presence, then having anti-microbial properties for the flavor-divider is a not that big of a plus.
