| What is sushi? |
| Thanks to the spread of international cuisine more and more people are being exposed to the uniqueness of Japanese food - sushi being one of the most popular and curious imports. But sushi didn't just spring up in the past few years on the dinner table - in fact the heritage and lineage of this tantalizing and distinctive cuisine is older than many countries! |
| Sushi the Japanese Snack |
| What has become a Japanese culinary art with delicious flavor and colorful form, actually evolved from very meager beginnings. In the 7th century, Southeast Asians introduced the technique of pickling. The Japanese acquired this same practice, which consisted of packing fish with rice. As the fish fermented the rice produced a lactic acid, which in turn caused the pickling of the pressed fish. Nare-Sushi is 1300 years old and refers to the finished edible product resulting from this early method. |
