Sushi
In Japanese cuisine, sushi (寿司, 鮨, 鮓) is vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients including fish (cooked or uncooked) and vegetables. Outside o
f Japan, sushi is sometimes misunderstood to mean the raw fish by itself, or even any fresh raw-seafood dishes. In Japan, sliced raw fish alone is called sashimi and is distinct from sushi, as sashimi is the raw fish component, not the rice component. The word sushi itself comes from an outdated grammatical form of a word that is no longer used in other contexts; literally, sushi means "it's sour."
Sushi can be eaten as is or dipped into shoyu (Japanese soy sauce) and then eaten. Much care is put into the creation of the dish and the many methods of preparing the food indicate the importance of appearance to the educated consumer.
If you did not understand this explaination, sushi is basically a dish composed of rice, nori (and sometimes seaweed) and fillings such as seafood, chicken, tuna etc. Sushi is made by first cooking rice, then cooling it, wrapping it in nori; using a bamboo mat to help and then cut into smaller pieces. Usually served cool and with soy sauce/shoyu. (The description above is one that is only relative to making makizushi).
