Sushi Sense

In Japanese cuisine, sushi is a food made of vinegared rice combined with various toppings or fillings.

In Japan the word sushi refers to the rice, not the fish. Sushi toppings or fillings can include seafood,meat vegetables, or egg, Sushi toppings may be raw, cooked, or marinated. In the Western world, sushi is often misunderstood to mean clumps of rice topped with raw fish, or even simply raw seafood, which is properly called sashimi.

There are various types of sushi. Sushi served rolled in nori (seaweed), is called maki (rolls). Sushi made with toppings laid onto hand-formed clumps of rice is called nigiri; sushi made with toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu is called inari; and sushi made with toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice are called chirashi-zushi, or scattered sushi.

Some of us love sushi and some of us live sushi. We wish to cater to both with an emphasis that may border on the obsession. Whether its sushi or sashimi, nigiri or maki, we'll talk about it all. Sushi is sensible. It's as simple as that. Sushi Sense is still a developing website, however in the intirum please visit our affiliates at:
