The evolution of sushi
From preservation to global icon.
Sushi began in Southeast Asia as a method of preserving fish, arrived in Japan in the 8th century, evolved into fresh sushi with rice vinegar in the 17th century, and spread worldwide from the 1960s, becoming a global food icon by the late 20th century.
