DETAILS
Contemporary Japanese sushi has little resemblance to the traditional lacto-fermented rice version widely known as nare-zushi. Originally, when the fermented fish was taken out of the rice, only the fish was consumed while the fermented rice was discarded. The contemporary iteration, internationally known as "sushi" is attributed to Hanaya Yohei (1799–1858) at the end of the Edo period in Edo. Sushi invented by Hanaya was an early form of fast food that was not fermented (therefore prepared quickly) and could be conveniently eaten with one's hands. The size of the previous sushi was about three times as large as contemporary ones. Originally, this sushi was known as Edomae zushi because it used freshly caught fish in the Edo-mae (Edo Bay or Tokyo Bay). Though the fish used in modern sushi no longer usually comes from Tokyo Bay, it is still formally known as Edomae nigirizushi. Now buy the hat.
