Southeast Asia. Initially, it is believed that sushi originated from Southeast Asia around the second century A.D. and the style of preparing it is different. Before, the fish and meat were wrapped in rice, cured, and fermented for a couple of months as a means of preservation.
After sushi was introduced to Japan in the 8th century, the Japanese started to use vinegar as a preservative instead of rice, creating a uniquely Japanese version of sushi that is still eaten today. In earlier variations of sushi, rice was used for preservation purposes only and rarely eaten. Photo by Wikimedia.
