Today's International Sushi Day. 8 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:37,640 Sushi doesn't mean raw fish, it refers to vinegared rice, served with various toppings. 9 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,600 Originating as a preservation method, fermented rice stored fish for up to a year in a dish 10 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,460 called nere sushi. 11 00:00:46,460 --> 00:00:52,540 By the 16th century, namunare sushi introduced vinegared rice, which was consumed rather 12 00:00:52,540 --> 00:00:54,720 than discarded. 13 00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:00,320 In the Edo period, the quick preparation of nijiri sushi became
