Sushi

A typical Japanese cuisine. Originally, it referred to fish pickled to be preserved from spoiling, but in the Edo Period(1603-1867) vinegar came to be used in the preparation, and they were put together with boiled rice for eating. However, in Edo (present-day Tokyo), sushi was made by laying slices of raw fish, freshly caught in Edo Bay, on rice and rolling it by hand. That "Edomae-zushi"(Edo-style sushi), is what is known throughout the world as Japanese sushi. In fact, throughout Japan there are many different kinds of sushi shaping a region's food culture. In Kansai, so-called "oshi-zushi"(pressed sushi) is not rolled by hand, but instead, rice mixed with vinegar is put into a wooden container, with slices of fish on it, and pressed from the top to shut tightly.
