Sushi Sushi is a Japanese cold dish of vinegar, cooked rice topped or wrapped with assorted ingredients.
History
China
Fermented rice was originated used to preserve fish in months. This fermented rice was thrown after the fish is ready to be eaten
After years past, they reduce the time of preserving fish and they ate both of the fish and rice
These became so popular in Japan, when small food stalls began to sell “Nigiri Sushi” (fishes on top of small pad of rice)
