History of Sushi
Sushi is one of the most traditional dishes made in Japan. Sushi is a dish made of vinegared rice served with various fillings and toppings, including raw fish. It must be noted that Sushi cuisine was invented for preservation when fermented rice was used to store fish for up to a year!
Sushi might be a traditional dish of Japan, but it did not originate there. It originated in China between the 5th and 3rd Centuries BC. The original form of Sushi is called Narezushi, which is still prevalent in Japan. It is believed that Hanaya Yohei was the creator of the original Sushi!
Narezushi was originally made out of rice and fish, which were pickled together, and mixed with rice vinegar which used to be laid under a large stone to be fermented!
Later, the Japanese developed its version of Sushi!
