Basic foods of Japan?
Sushi, fish, basically all kinds of seafood!
Sushi originates from which country?
It really depends on how you look at it. Sushi's first origins were arguably in China. Fish was stored in fermented rice as a means of preserving it, but the rice was never actually eaten with the fish. It was thrown away, so if you consider fish stored in rice to be the origin, then the answer would be China. After the storage idea had migrated to Japan, the Japanese took it further, and started eating the rice with the fish. It wasn't until the early 17th century, once again in Japan, that they started to season the rice (instead of the long process of fermenting it), and selling it as "sushi." Japan later sparked many further developments of this food type. So, if you mean the current food form, I would say Japan.

Does sushi have parasites?
Yes it does but not all sushi has fish in it. "Sushi" is the art of the preparation and the presentation. Tamago, for example is a cooked egg omlet of sorts that is specially seasoned and placed on the formed rice ball in sushi preparation for what is called "nigiri" sushi. And not all sushi contains raw fish. The eel, or Unagi is cooked as is the shrimp. Sashimi is sliced raw fish. Sushi rolls or Maki sushi sometimes have vegetables only, cucumber, radish etc.
Is vegitarian sushi still a type of sushi?
Sushi is the rice, so technically is automatically vegetarian. It all depends on what kind you are making - not all of them use fish, some forms of sushi use vegetables only.
Why is there raw fish in sushi?
Sushi was invented thousands of years ago in Japan as a way to preserve raw, cleaned fish. It was pressed between rice and salt by a heavy stone for a few weeks, then covered with a lighter material until the fish fermented. In the 18th century, a chef named Yohei Hanaya decided to skip the fermentation process and serve it on its own. Fresh sushi later became very popular. Not all sushi has raw fish in it, like the California roll or the eel roll. I personally LOVE sushi, with raw fish or not. It's what makes each roll unique. If you haven't already tried it, don't be scared!

Is sushi okay while breastfeeding?
Sushi can be okay while breastfeeding, but be careful. Some sushi is just sweet rice, vegetables, and cooked fish, all of which are healthy at any time. Other types of sushi, primarily sashimi, contain ingredients (like raw fish) that you should consult a doctor about.
Why do Japanese people eat sushi?
There is not enough land in Japan that can be used for growing crops or raising animals, so they tend to exist on rice that they grow, and fish, which they have caught for thousands of years. The ocean is all around Japan, and is the easiest way to get good, nourishing meat. Why sushi? Why not? Cooking food is more part of the European/American culture than the Japanese; besides, sushi is tasty. Now, if the Japanese ate a lot of pork, they would have learned centuries ago to cook it. The Japanese also eat a lot of pickled foods (which are not cooked).
