Ancient Sushi Roots 🍣

Sushi, often linked to Japan, actually has ancient origins in Southeast Asia. The practice of fermenting rice with fish made its way to Japan around the 8th century due to Chinese influence. Over the years, this method transformed into the diverse and artistic sushi we enjoy today. From its simple beginnings as a way to preserve fish with rice to the refined forms of nigiri and sashimi, sushi showcases the rich cultural exchanges that shape global cuisine. The skillful craftsmanship involved—from choosing the freshest fish to the precise techniques of sushi chefs—makes sushi not just a culinary practice but a beautiful art form steeped in tradition.
