Fun Facts: Sushi

  2. Originally, sushi rice was not eaten but instead used as a preservative for the fish and a means of creating a flavor profile called umami.
  3. The bamboo mat that gives sushi maki rolls their cylindrical shape is called a makisu in Japanese.
  4. True to its origins as a simple fast food, the correct way to eat sushi is with your fingers.
