Many people consider sushi to be a simple dish. In reality, it is an entire philosophy and a centuries-old tradition. Japanese cuisine is full of amazing stories and rules. Knowing these interesting facts about sushi will make your next order even more exciting. We have gathered five key points that will surprise you.
1. Rice Was Originally a Preservative Sushi did not emerge as a dish, but as a way to preserve fish. Ancient Japanese fermented fish in boiled rice. This process was called narezushi. The rice was thrown away, and only the preserved fish was eaten. Modern sushi and rolls only appeared in the 17th century. Our Sushi Burger with salmon is a modern evolution of ancient traditions.
2. Wasabi Is Not Just for Spiciness Real wasabi has a complex, herbal flavor. Originally, it was used to decontaminate fish due to its antibacterial properties. Mixing wasabi into soy sauce is considered bad manners. It is better to place a small amount directly on the roll.
3. «Inside-Out» Rolls Were Invented in the USA Rolls where the rice is on the outside (like our Maxi Roll) are called Uramaki. This format was invented in California. It became popular to hide the nori seaweed from American consumers. Now, Uramaki is a world classic.
4. Chicken Rolls Are a True Fusion Japanese cuisine strictly follows principles, but it does not stand still. Our Hot Chicken Roll and Hot Tuna Roll are examples of successful fusion. They combine traditional techniques with European ingredients. Baking and Teriyaki sauce add warmth and richness to the dishes. This is an ideal choice for those who prefer heat-treated products. Popular Fusion Ingredients:
Cream cheese (as in our Sushi Sandwich)
Teriyaki sauce
Chicken fillet
