The origin of sushi is believed to have been during the second century A.D. in Southeast Asia because of the need to keep meat fresh without refrigeration. They would cure meat and fish and wrap it in rice to preserve its freshness.
Nigiri sushi means squeezed sushi and was originally a specialty from Tokyo. It was actually called Edo-mae, meaning in front of Tokyo (Edo is the old name for Tokyo) because the fresh fish came directly from the fish market at Tokyo Bay.ushi is NOT raw fish, but today refers to vinegared rice used in making sushi. This should not be confused with Sashimi, which is the raw fish. Nigiri sushi is fresh, delicate pieces of sashimi pressed on top of vinegared rice.
