Sushi From Japan

I likes sushi very much even I dont know how it taste. I never had a chance to taste or see it in front of my eyes, I just saw sushi on television. I loves sushi because it looks so colourful and so unique. For my next post, I'm going to tell you about sushi. Sushi is the most famous Japanese dish outside of Japan, and one of the most popular dishes among the Japanese themselves. In Japan, sushi is usually enjoyed on special occasions, such as a celebration.

During the Edo period, "sushi" referred to pickled fish preserved in vinegar. Nowadays sushi can be defined as a dish containing rice which has been prepared with sushi vinegar. There are many different types of sushi. Some popular ones are:

Nigiri

Small rice balls with fish. There are countless varieties of nigirizushi, some of the most common ones being tuna, shrimp, eel, squif, octopus and fried egg.

Gunkan

Small cups made of sushi rice and dried seaweed filled with seafood.

Norimaki

Sushi rice and seafood (rolled in dried seaweed sheets).

Oshizushi

Pressed sushi, in which the fish is pressed onto the sushi rice in a wooden box.

Temaki

Made of nori seaweed and filled with sushi rice, seafood and vegetables.

Inari

Inarizushi is a simple inexpensive type of sushi, in which sushi rice is filled into aburaage (deep fried tofu) bags.

Chirashi

Chirashizushi is a dish in which seafood, mushroom and vegetables are spread over sushi rice. It can resemble domburi with the difference being that chirashizushi uses sushi rice while domburi uses regular, unseasoned rice.

Even there are many shop in Malaysia that sell sushi, it is not the same sushi as in Japan. I hope that one day I have a chance to taste sushi originally from Japan.
