Why do Japanese like to eat sushi?

SUSI, or sushi, is one of the favorite traditional foods in Japan. The Japanese often say that "where there is fish, there is sushi". This kind of food is said to come from the subtropical region. People there found that cooked rice can be preserved for a long time if it is put in a clean fish room and buried in an underground altar, and the food will have a slightly sour taste due to fermentation, which is the embryonic form of sushi. \ x0d \ x0d \ At present, sushi in Japan is mainly produced and sold by specialized sushi shops. Chefs in white overalls will slice peeled fresh fish and other good materials on rice blocks with the same width according to customers' requirements. Due to the different colors of raw meat of various fish and shrimp, sushi is colorful and very beautiful. \x0d\\x0d\ In addition, Japanese families also make sushi for banquets on special occasions, but the method is mostly simple. You can add roasted laver or sliced eggs, pickles and the like while rolling rice. \x0d\\x0d\ Another kind worth mentioning is local sushi, which is considered as a delicacy in my hometown. \ x0d \ x0d \ Among them, the representative salmon sushi in Hokkaido and Aomori Prefecture is made of fresh raw salmon fillets and radishes with rice and koji stains. \x0d\\x0d\ Radish sushi in Ishikawa Prefecture is made of sliced salted radish, raw salmon slices, rice and sake koji. Radish sushi is the most representative pickled fish sushi in Japan. \x0d\\x0d\ and _ fish sushi in Akita Prefecture, sardine sushi in Chiba Prefecture and so on. \x0d\\x0d\ Sushi "Sushi" and "Sour" are both foods pickled with acid. In 200 AD, that is, in the post-Han era, China has begun to spread the food "sushi", which is interpreted in the dictionary as food made of salt, vinegar, rice and fish fillets. During the Song Dynasty, there were frequent wars in China. Sushi was only the food of refugees, with more varieties, including vegetables, fish, meat and even shellfish. In 700 AD, in the Nara era, Japanese businessmen who went abroad for business spread sushi to Japan. At that time, the Japanese used some vinegar-soaked rice balls and some seafood or meat, pressed them into small pieces and arranged them neatly in a small wooden box as food along the way. It was not until A.D. 1700, that is, the Edo period, that sushi was widely circulated in Japan and became an ordinary food. \x0d\\x0d\ takes simplicity as food and nature as food. This is the reason why Japanese cuisine has gradually become popular all over the world and is loved by more and more people. Sushi, especially this kind of food, is the ultimate expression of simple philosophy. However, the doorway to eating sushi is not simple. \ x0d \ x0d \ Compared with sashimi slices dipped in soy sauce and mustard, sushi with fresh live fish as the main performance, plus vinegar rice, mustard, kneading and rolling, is still simple, but more chewy, richer, more artistic and invincible. Especially in the deep winter, all the fish have accumulated a thick layer of fish maw to resist the cold winter, and the taste is even more extraordinary. \ x0d \ x0d \ The good sushi I have experienced in my memory and impression is always clean and beautiful in appearance, with a slight bright luster. After the entrance, as the rice grains and delicious food are slowly dispersed in the mouth, it seems that raw fish with vigorous vitality, fresh and sweet taste, fresh and slightly sour vinegar rice with just the right structure, wasabi, chopped green onion and other spices that skillfully play a role in improving taste and freshness are gradually interwoven into fresh, fat, soft, smooth, slightly sour, sweet, cool and fragrant. \ x0d \ x0d \ The types of sushi can be divided into "holding sushi" made by skillfully kneading vinegar rice with sashimi, seafood or other materials, "rolling sushi" made by wrapping slices with pipes, "betting sushi" made by laminating wooden boxes, and "loose sushi" made by directly spreading raw fish and other materials on white rice. \ x0d \ x0d \ At that time, all kinds of sashimi were used in the ingredients of sushi, called "finger grip", which is the most popular sushi now. In fact; In addition to "grasping fingers", there are "rolling fingers" and "box sushi". "Rolling pin" is to wrap rice, cucumber, tuna, eggs, pickled radish and other materials with seaweed. "Box sushi" is named after putting rice in a wooden box, covering it with various ingredients and flattening it, and then pulling out the wooden box sushi and cutting it into pieces. \ x0d \ x0d \ In addition, the "hand roll" that ordinary sushi restaurants can taste is actually a kind of "finger roll". It is said that in 800 AD, because those gamblers stayed in the real castle of the casino all day, in order to solve the hunger problem, they were afraid that rice grains would stick to poker and fingers. For convenience, they were rolled up with purple vegetables and gradually became today's hand rolls. \ x0d \ x0d \ Japanese sushi can be divided into two schools: one is the Edo school, which holds sushi; Second, the Kanto school, boxed sushi, in contrast, holding sushi is more popular with everyone. Because there is no mold, it is made by sushi chef by hand, which can not only ensure the round grains of rice, but also effectively maintain the mellow taste of rice. \ x0d \ x0d \ Among them, "holding sushi" should be regarded as a very unique one in the whole cooking field. The most mainstream and exquisite thing is "holding sushi". Different fish ingredients have different cutting methods, thickness and even seasoning. Just as the order of tasting must be champagne, white wine, red wine, sweet wine or spirits, sushi also pays attention to order.
