Sushi

Sushi is a Japanese dish that consists of vinegared rice accompanied by a variety of ingredients, including raw or cooked seafood, vegetables, and occasionally tropical fruits. The term “sushi” originally referred specifically to the rice itself, which is seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, although it has come to represent the entire dish. There are various styles of sushi, including nigiri (slices of fish atop rice), maki (rice and filling rolled in seaweed), and sashimi (sliced raw fish served without rice). Sushi is typically served with condiments such as soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger. It is renowned for its fresh flavors, artistic presentation, and the skill required to prepare it.
