Sushi Index
In this sushi page, you will find history of sushi, vocabulary and how to making sushi. Sushi is the word for ferment thing or food in Japanese. The variety of sushi has no limits.
How many types of sushi are out there? Mainly, there is three type of sushi: Nare-zushi, Nama-nari-zushi and Haya-zushi. Today, the most sold and seen sushi is Haya-zushi, such as sushi rolls, nigiri (hand-formed sushi), hand-rolls and chirashi-zushi.
Haya-zushi means instant fermentation. Haya-zushi is made without the use of any stone weight. This is a major difference from the other two. Nigiri-zushi (hand-formed sushi) is a represantive of Haya-sushi. It becomes a image for the most people when the word--sushi has been spoken.
Usually we have seen the Nigirizushi (Hand-formed sushi) in restaurants. There is also a type of sushi call the Oshizushi. I will post this information ASAP. All the sushi topics in the site have been list below.
