Traditional Japanese food blog post #4

Japanese culture has evolved a lot through history. Japan was the first country to create sushi and now sushi has spread throughout the world. Sushi and Japenese food in general has become a huge hit in America. Although you can get sushi in America, it will not be as authentic as Japanese sushi. Japan uses a much wider range of fish and ingredients in their sushi. It is not even uncommon for Japanese people to use whale meat in sushi! Although sushi is such a popular dish in Japan, it isn’t very easy to make. It is easy for the people in Japan who are used to making it nearly everyday but for us Americans, it is not such an easy task. I will attach a link at the bottom of this post to a website filled with sushi recipes. There are recipes for simple sushi like California rolls or very complicated sushi like spicy tuna rolls. The Japenese created special rice just for making sushi and it’s called “shari”. You can normally find it in your local supermarket or you can make it at home. I will attach a link for a recipe to make shari as well.
