By: Jack Rice

INTRODUCTION

Sushi is a very famous dish that originated from traditional Japanese food. This dish is often consumed as a snack. There are different types of sushi dishes made by various professional sushi chefs. Sushi is actually a dish made of white rice cooked in rice vinegar and served together with different types of toppings. There are varieties of toppings that are used, such as raw or cooked fish or some other seafood and various vegetables as well. This is the traditional Japanese dish and is prepared in different ways, but in each type only short grain white rice is used.

A mixture of sugar, salt and vinegar is given after the rice is cooked, and sometimes sake is also added to get some kind of different flavor. Then, the seasoning is done at room temperature to add more flavor. There are different types of sushi available in restaurants that are served with a variety of toppings and fillings. Especially deep-sea fish such as tuna and salmon are preferred by most professional sushi chefs to be used as topping. Some of the other types of fish such as mackerel, snapper and yellowtail are also used to make a perfect sushi dish.

Sushi rolls are also very famous and require nori seaweed to be wrapped and can also be used as snacks. These snacks are flavored in teriyaki, which is served along with horseradish paste called wasabi paste, sea salt and some roasted sesame seeds also known as gomashio, soy sauce and pickled ginger. There are some traditional sushi bars that serve green tea along with the sushi meal and there are some where sake wine is served with it. Sake is a very popular wine made with rice and served warm in winter.
