The History of Sushi

Listen and do the quizzes
Sushi was first made over 2000 years ago in Southeast Asia. Back then, people used to put salt on the fish to keep
it from going bad. They would put the salted fish in a container with
rice. After a few months, the fish could be eaten but the rice was
thrown away. This sushi became popular all over China and it was
introduced into Japan. The Japanese preferred to eat rice together with fish, so they ate the rice and fish together while the fish was still raw.
