My Love For Sushi

Sushi was believed to have first made in Southeast Asia, with the intention to keep meat fresh without refrigeration. They preserve meat by wrapping the meat and fish in rice and ferment it for several months. When the time has come for them to feast on it, they will discard the rice and let it to… waste? *Cry*

This method then spreads through and reached Japan, where I thought sushi originated. Conversely, Japan has their own ways of fermenting to cut down the time constriction, so they don’t have to wait for months to enjoy the meat.

In the 1800s, chefs started to become more innovative and used raw fish in their sushi and 100 years later, nigiri-sushi was created. (Nigiri-sushi: Raw fish placed on top of shaped rice). Now, there are more than 100 kinds of sushi worldwide! To Yohei Hanaya, thank you for inventing the method and to other chefs, you guys are awesome!

The point is… I HAVE MAJOR LOVE FOR SUSHI! Especially Salmon-based sushi. Be it raw, smoked, cooked to perfection, I will not hesitate even a second to eat it; except those bangas ones. Now let us bear through these pictures.

Warning: Food pictures may cause sudden cravings and leads to frustration if the cravings not fulfilled immediately. I don’t possess a great photography skills (naaawwhh, I was too hungry to take good pictures) and I don’t know the exact name of the dishes hohoho.
