History Of Sushi

500 BC

Sushi dates back to 500 BC. Before sushi was not like today. It was more of a way to preserve fish and not a dish instead it consited of wraping fermented rice around fish. This kept the fish fresh and could be stored for up to 1 year. when people ate it they threw away the rice and ate the fish.

1500s

Now sushi is turning into the food we know today. During the 1500s sushi evolved into an actual dish instead of preserving the fish the fermented rice turned to vineager rice. This time instead of throwing away the rice it was ate with the fish.

1700s

This time in sushi's history they added seaweed to it. This is the form most of us know today. This is a sushi roll. If you don't know what that is it is just seaweed with fish and rice inside.

1800s

At the point in sushis history they put fish on a sort of cube of rice. This was know as “hayazushi” or “nigirizushi”. Sushi was a fast food now and not like an actual retraunt it was more of a quick snack.

1900s

this is when sushi began to populorize with the US. Becasue of stuff like the California roll and cooked sushi ingredients became more popular with the west. As more people wanted sushi chefs started making sushi rolls becasue they could make a lot of them very quickly. As more time pased a lot of people began liking sushi so people made factories to make sushi so now sushi was cheaper and there was a lot of it.
