Brief Overview

Today sushi is commonly known as raw fish on a piece of rice. Sushi actually means vinegared rice that is rolled or topped with fresh
ingredients (making of sushi).
 

Sashimi is thinly sliced, raw seafood. Sashimi can be eaten just as sashimi or in sushi.

There are four different
types of sushi: maki sushi (rolled), oshi sushi (pressed), nigiri sushi (hand-shaped), and chirashi sushi (scattered).

Sushi is served with a variety of colors and shapes and comes with
condiments to maximize the sushi eating experience. Traditionally the nutrient content is low in fat and high in protein.   Some Americanized versions, however, add more fat to the sushi with some of the ingredients.

Sushi has come a long way from its beginnings.   It has now gone mainstream in America.   A set of codes regulates sushi at the local, state, and national levels.
