Jpanese Sushi

Sushi is a combination of boiled rice marinated with rice vinegar, and seafood on top or rolled in the middle. It is a healthy icon of Japanese cuisine known the world over. Boiled or roasted seafood is used for sushi on occasion, but generally raw ingredients are used. Some people may have never experienced sushi because they object to the idea of raw fish, but there are many types to choose from. Sushi for those who won’t eat raw fish is also available.
The origins of sushi can be traced back to “nare-zushi” (nah-leh-zoo-shee), a traditional form of fermented sushi. Today a lot of emphasis is put on the freshness of raw ingredients used, but in those days the ingredients were preserved. In short, nare-zushi is a fermented combination of river fish and rice that originated in Southeast Asia. Eventually it was introduced to Japan, and is still prepared today as a local delicacy in certain regions. Marinating the boiled rice with vinegar is a practice that originated in the Edo Period, beginning in 1600 AD.

Sushi can be eaten by hand or with chopsticks.
Eel is already prepared with sauce, but most other sushi should be dipped in soy sauce before eating it. After eating a rich piece of sushi, it’s always refreshing to crunch on some pickled ginger, which is offered as a condiment.

My opinion:

I like eating Sushi very much.
In China, Sushi is very popular among the young generation. I think it is one kind of healthy food, and looks very toothsome. Because all of the ingredients that make sushi are raw, it is more fresh and nutritive. There are many conveyor belt sushi restaurants in Kuming(My hometoen). A conveyor belt loaded with plates of sushi moves from table to table around the restaurant, and customer can take what they want from it. Price is determined by the color of each plate. It is inexpensive for people, but if you go to some famous Japanese restaurants like Haiyi Hotel, Mingu, and Tongren restaurant around Green Park Lake, it is very expensive.

There are many different types of sushi to choose from.

Nigiri Sushi：This is the most common type of sushi.

Pressed Sushi (Oshi Zushi)：This type of sushi is often eaten in the Kansai region, especially in the Osaka vicinity.

Battleship Roll (Gun-Kan Maki)：This is one type of nigiri sushi
