This article is about Japanese cuisine. For other uses, see
Sushi (disambiguation). In
Japanese cuisine, is a
food made of
vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients including fish (cooked or uncooked) and vegetables. Sushi as an
English word has come to refer to a complete dish with rice and toppings; this is the sense used in this article. The original word sushi, written in
kanji, means "snack" and refers to the rice, but not fish or other toppings. Outside of 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.
