Initially, sushi involved fish preserved in fermented rice, which wasn't eaten. Later, during the Edo period, people started pickling the rice, reducing the fermentation time and making the rice more palatable to be eaten with the fish. Around 1750, sheet seaweed was invented, allowing for the creation of sushi that resembles what we eat today. This included adding vegetables and serving the rice alongside the fish.
You forgot to add that Americans popularized putting avocado into sushi. And that the Norwegians introduced the concept of salmon sushi.
My favorite sushi fact is that salmon sushi was introduced to Japan from Norway. Norway was trying to increase the amount of salmon it sold to Japan, so they had to convince the Japanese public that salmon could be eaten raw (it was usually eaten cooked), and it's become one of the more popular fishes for sushi.
I used this in an essay about sushi and got an B+ Good job Sam,onella.
That's just what happens when you're stuck on an island with only fish, soy, rice, and tea.
Him describing the old way of fermenting sushi and I suddenly realized that I have actually tasted it. At a gathering in Shiga I was randomly offered funazushi without any context. And HOH BOY that was difficult to eat.
Fun fact: Norway is the reason there is salmon in sushi
Reading this while waiting for my sushi to arrive. Bless you, Professor O'Nella.
Sushi has been heavily westernized and changed as a whole since the 1970s by almost one man: Hidekazu Tojo. He invented the california roll as well as the art of rolling sushi with the rice on the outside, now seen literally everywhere.
Hidekazu Tojo has been named the ambassador to Japanese cuisine by the Japanese government and resides here in Vancouver. He has a world-famous restaurant on Broadway street called Tojo's and is the chef celebrities call on when they're in Vancouver and feel like some top-tier Japanese food.
If you don't believe the shadow of influence he casts over sushi, please feel free to google the man himself. He's a legend.
