Sushi is a Japanese dish consisting of small balls or rolls of vinegar-flavored cold cooked rice served with a garnish of raw fish, vegetables, or egg. There are many varieties and variations of sushi. Many people enjoy sushi.
Sushi is said to have originated in China between the 5th and the 3rd centuries BC, as a means of preserving fish in salt. Narezushi, the original form of sushi, has been made in South East Asia for centuries, and nowadays, there are still traces of it in some parts.

There are many different types of sushi. My personal favorite is the california roll. The california roll consists of imitation crab meat, rice, seaweed, avacado, rice, and cucumber.
There are about 5 different types of sushi. The first one is Uramaki, which is where the rice is on the outside and the seaweed is in the inside with the other ingredients. The second kind is Temaki, which is rolled up seaweed with ingredients sticking out of the top of the cone. The third type is Maki, which is where the seaweed is on the outside and the rice is on the inside with the other ingredients. The forth type is Sashimi, which is just different meats and fish with no rice or seaweed. The final type is Nigiri, which is thin slices of usually raw fish layed over a clump of rice. These are the main types of sushi and the ingredients inside of them can vary.
If you have never had sushi you should go try some! They have something for everyone!
