History of Sushi

The original type of sushi, known today as nare-zushi (, ) was firstdeveloped in Southeast Asia possibly along what is now known as the Mekong River and

then spread to southern China before introduction to Japan.The term sushicomes from an

archaic grammatical form no longer used in other contexts; literally, sushi means "sour-

tasting", a reflection of its historic fermented roots. The oldest form of sushi in Japan,narezushi, still very closely resembles this process, wherein fish is fermented via being

wrapped in soured fermenting rice. The fish proteins break down via fermentation into its

constituent amino acids. The fermenting rice and fish results in a sour taste and also one

of the five basic tastes, called umami in Japanese. In Japan, narezushi evolved intooshizushiand ultimately Edomae nigirizushi, which is what the world today knows as "sushi".

Contemporary Japanese sushi has little resemblance to the traditional lacto-

fermented rice dish. Originally, when the fermented fish was taken out of the rice, onlythe fish was consumed and the fermented rice was discarded. The strong tasting and

smelling funazushi, a kind of narezushi made near Lake Biwa in Japan, resembles the

traditional fermented dish. Beginning in the Muromachi period (AD 13361573) of Japan,

vinegar was added to the mixture for better taste and preservation. The vinegaraccentuated the rice's sourness and was known to increase its shelf life, allowing the

fermentation process to be shortened and eventually abandoned. In the following centuries,

sushi in Osaka evolved into oshi-zushi. The seafood and rice were pressed using wooden

(usually bamboo) molds. By the mid 18th century, this form of sushi had reached Edo(contemporary Tokyo).

The contemporary version, internationally known as "sushi", was created by Hanaya

Yohei (17991858) at the end of the Edo period in Edo. The sushi invented by Hanaya wasan early form of fast food that was not fermented (therefore prepared quickly) and could

be eaten with one's hands at a roadside or in a theatre. Originally, this sushi was known asEdomae zushibecause it used freshly caught fish in the Edo-mae(Edo Bay or Tokyo Bay).

Though the fish used in modern sushi no longer usually comes from Tokyo Bay, it is stillformally known as Edomae nigirizushi.
