From Japan to the World
2022
apan's most famous traditional food, sushi, has satisfied people's appetites
around the world. We usually think of sushi as bite sized slices of raw fish laid
who eat sushi love it. The sushi we eat today, however, is quite different from that
many are unable to accept the thought of eating uncooked pieces of fish. But those
on rice. Eaten as a snack or main course, sushi is light and healthy. At first sight,
of the past.
Long before the invention of refrigerators, in Japan, freshly-caught fish was
preserved in salt and put in rice to keep it edible for a longer time. This process
gave the fish a strong and sour flavor, and also kept it from rotting. After it was
preserved, people ate the fish without the rice.com

Later, as methods of maintaining food improved, rice vinegar replaced the
preservation process. And instead of throwing away the rice, the Japanese began
eating it with the fish. Since the preservation process was no longer needed, sushi
became quick and easy to prepare and eat.

In kaiten sushi restaurants, plates of sushi move
around on a conveyor belt, and customers take whatever 20

Japanese to fully enjoy sushi. Through
constant improvement, Japan has spread
sushi, its gift to the world, all over the place.
