Etymology

The word 'sushi' originated from the Japanese language, derived from the word 'su' meaning 'vinegar' and 'meshi' meaning 'rice'. The term was originally used to describe the process of preserving fish in fermented rice. Over time, the modern form of sushi evolved, moving away from raw fish preservation to the various styles and presentations we see today, such as nigiri, maki, and uramaki. Sushi gained international popularity during the late 20th century, particularly as Japanese cuisine began to spread globally. Today, sushi is not only a staple in Japan but also a beloved culinary art form worldwide, with many variations adapted to local tastes and ingredients.
