Sushi

Sushi is a Japanese dish primarily consisting of vinegared rice combined with various ingredients, including seafood, vegetables, and occasionally tropical fruits. It often features raw fish or seafood and comes in various forms, such as nigiri (slices of fish atop rice), maki (rice and fillings rolled in seaweed), sashimi (slices of raw fish served without rice), and temaki (hand-rolled cones of seaweed filled with rice and other ingredients). Sushi is typically served with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi, adding distinct flavors and enhancing the overall dining experience. While sushi has traditional roots in Japan, it has gained immense popularity worldwide, leading to diverse interpretations and variations.
