Sushi<\/em> is one of the most well-known Japanese foods<\/strong>. It is one of the most popular foods among the Japanese. The term sushi actually describes a wide variety of foods, all made by combining a specific kind of Japanese rice with seafood or vegetables.<\/p>\n

There is a lot of regional variation and sushi has evolved differently outside of Japan. In Japan, the most popular form of sushi is nigri sushi<\/a>, where rice is compressed into a cylindrical shape and then raw fish is placed on top.<\/p>\n
