Sushi appeared in Southeast Asia accidentally. Because at first, people used rice as a preservative of fish and after the soaking, they throwed rice away. In the Edo period, people became to use vinegar instead of natural fermentation.
Nigiri-sushi was made in Tokyo and it became popular after an earthquake in1923. Because sushi chefs spreaded into new areas in Japan looking for works.
I was very surpresed because I didnot know about sushi's history. At first people used rice as a preservative, and fish was soaked into rice. I was also amazed that nigiri-sushi was spreaded after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. If the disaster didnot occur, nigiri-sushi might not existence in the whole of Japan.
I want to learn about other Japanese traditional cuisines' history, too.
I watched the video you chose. I did not know the history of Nigiri-Sushi well. Vinegar is used to keep the quality of food, so it has been used for a long time.

But now, wathing the video aroused mixed feeling in me because it was first made by the terrible disaster. Anyway, it was interesting video for me!
