Sushi

Sushi is a traditional food that is from Japan. The word "Sushi" comes from the Japanese word "Su" meaning vinegar, and "Meshi", meaning rice. Sushi is made with specially prepared rice, called sumeshi. The rice is mixed with vinegar, salt, and sugar. Sushi is known for having raw or cooked seafood in it, but it sometimes has non-fish foods such as vegetables. Some sushi is wrapped in a sheet of seaweed called nori. Sushi is traditionally eaten by hand, but it is not wrong to eat it using chopsticks. Gari (Japanese pickled ginger slices) must be eaten with chopsticks.
