'japanese consumers love this piece' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'of inglorious us history' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SUSHI' can be found hidden inside 'inglorious us history'.

Can you help me to learn more?
