Sushi
Sushi is arguably the most famous and popular Japanese dish.
Perhaps the most eaten of all Japanese dishes, sushi has risen to be particularly popular in the more chic locations of the United States. It is served in too many ways to list completely in the confines of this article. To be thought of as sushi, however, the dish is required to contain rice that has been prepared with sushi vinegar.
The most ordered form of sushi is surely norimaki, or sushi rolls. These rolls are filled with sushi rice and many kinds of seafood rolled in sheets of dried seaweed. Norimaki very often includes vegetables, as well.
Some other popular sushis are:
Gunkan (tuna, eel, shrimp, octopus, squid, and fried egg)
Nigiri (cups of sushi rice and nori)
Temaki (cone hand rolls in nori seaweed)
Oshizushi (pressed sushi in a wooden box)
Inari (sushi in deep fried tofu)
Chirashi (seafood, mushroom and vegetables spread over rice)
