Sushi is a traditional Japanese dish that typically consists of vinegared rice, known as “sushi rice,” combined with various ingredients. The most common sushi varieties include: Nigiri: A slice of raw fish or other seafood placed atop a small bed of sushi rice. Maki: Sushi rolls wrapped in seaweed (nori), containing a combination of fish, vegetables, and rice. Sashimi: Thin slices of raw fish or seafood served without rice. Sushi can also be accompanied by pickled ginger, wasabi (Japanese horseradish), and soy sauce for dipping.
