Why do Japanese people eat sushi?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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).

What is the origan of sushi?

User Avatar

Asked by Miley1217

From South East Asia, not China like some people think, though early versions were vastly different from the sushi we know today. It was used as a preservation method, where fish was packed in between layers of rice and salt. The rice is discarded after that. Modern sushi originates from Japan, where it is also the only place left where the original method of preserving fish can still be found, albeit scarcely.
