The origin of sushi is believed to have been during the second century A.D. in Southeast Asia because of the need to keep meat fresh without refrigeration. They would cure meat and fish and wrap it in rice to preserve its freshness.
Where Did Sushi Come From? When we think of sushi, we think of raw fish served in a wrap of seaweed and lettuce. But originally, thatâs not what sushi was. Sushi has been served in Japan as far back as the 8th century, but it was very different. It was narezushi, which translates to âfermented sushi.â This fermented sushi was used to preserve fish by placing the meat in a wrap of fermented rice. Later, when the fish was eaten, the fermented rice wrap was thrown away.
