Sushi began centuries ago in Japan as a method of preserving fish. Cleaned, raw fish was pressed between layers of rice and salt, and then weighted with a stone. After weeks, the stone was removed and replaced with a light cover and left to ferment for months, until ready to eat.

In the eighteenth century, a chef named Yohei decided to forego the fermentation and serve sushi in a manner that resembled its current form. Rice merchants in Osaka developed a sushi that consisted of seasoned rice with fish, forming an edible package. Tokyo, on a bay then rich with fish, developed nigiri-sushi, a select bit of seafood on a small bed of seasoned rice.

Eat your sushi in one bite by dipping it in soy sauce mixed with Wasabi paste -- finish with a slice of pickled ginger, enjoy!
