For the Japanese, eating sushi is like eating a peanut butter sandwich: it comes so naturally, the etiquette rules - on how to eat sushi - are part of their DNA.
In my European country you’ll order sushi as nigiri at any cornershop sushi place.
It’s most often sold as a set, where there’s typically 4 pieces of some roll with three ingredients and nori on the outside (but variations are not uncommon).
It’s quite close to what I’ve had in Japan. Although fish quality is very different.

If you order nigiri, and get 4 pieces of roll with it, then your still getting something very diferent than you’d see in Japan.
Sushi (nigiri) almost exclusively comes in single or pair units in Japan, and I’ve never seen them come with rolls (even maki)
I’ve gotten sets with nigiri and maki in several cities around Japan. I guess my experience and yours differ.
Clearly they differ, I only lived there twice for a little than a year each time though, so maybe you have more time spent there than me.
