HISTORY OF SUSHI

Sushi (, , ?) is a Japanese food consisting of cooked vinegared rice ( sushimeshi?) combined with other ingredients( neta?), seafood, vegetables and sometimes tropical fruits.
Ingredients and forms of sushi presentation vary widely, but the ingredient which all sushi have in
common is rice (also referred to as shari (?) or sumeshi (?)).

Sushi can be prepared with either brown or white rice. It is often prepared with raw seafood, but some
common varieties of sushi use cooked ingredients or are vegetarian. Raw fish (or occasionally other
meat) sliced and served without rice is called "sashimi".
Sushi is often served with pickled ginger ( gari), wasabi, and soy sauce. Popular garnishes are often
made using daikon.

TYPES OF SUSHI
1. Chirashizushi

Chirashizushi with raw ingredients

Chirashizushi (, "scattered sushi") is a bowl of sushi rice topped with a variety of raw fish and
vegetables/garnishes (also refers tobarazushi). There is no set formula for the ingredients; they are either
chef's choice or specified by the customer. It is commonly eaten because it is filling, fast and easy to
make. Chirashizushi also often varies regionally. It is eaten annually on Hinamatsuri in March.

Edomae chirashizushi (Edo-style scattered sushi) is served with uncooked ingredients which are
arranged artfully on top of the sushi rice in a bowl.

Gomokuzushi (Kansai-style sushi) consists of cooked or uncooked ingredients mixed in the body
of rice in a bowl.

Sake-zushi (Kyushu-style sushi) is a variety where instead of rice vinegar, rice wine is used in the
mixture of the rice, and is topped with shrimp, sea bream, octopus, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo
shoots and shredded omelette.

2. Inarizushi

Inarizushi

Inarizushi () is a pouch of fried tofu typically filled with sushi rice alone. It is named after the
Shinto god Inari, who is believed to have a fondness for fried tofu. The pouch is normally fashioned as
deep-fried tofu (, abura age). Regional variations include pouches made of a thin omelette (
, fukusa-zushi, or , chakin-zushi). It should not be confused with inari maki, which is a roll filled
with flavored fried tofu.

A version of inarizushi that includes green beans, carrots, and gobo along with rice, wrapped in a
triangular aburage (fried tofu) piece, is aHawaiian specialty, where it is called cone sushi and is often
sold in okazu-ya (Japanese delis) and as a component of bento boxes.
