Depends which part of the country asia you're looking to explore. It's a big country, that asia.
That said, i don't remember the last time I had fried rice, but i do love making sushi. For rolls, you need a rolling mat. for nigiri, you just use your hands. Good sharp knife is essential, and I've heard from a sushi chef who uses a $12 yanagiba, which is now 10 bucks.
just find something in your price range on Amazon. I have this knife and for the price, it's not bad at all. Takes a good edge.
some others by that brand:

You could consider getting a yanagiba for sushi/sashimi, which would work much better than a serrated/chef's knife. As others have mentioned, wetting the knife is essential to prevent sticking.
To me the bare minimum would be:
A sushi rice bowl is called a hangiri. They are cheap on the internet and so can be the sushi knives.
I think keeping it simple and cheap in the beginning is best because you'll probably make a lot of mistakes. Cheap mistakes are easier to live with.
