 history
Sushi is mentioned for the first time in a dictionary compiled in China at the end of the 2nd century A.D. It was salted fish meat in rice, and was eaten after it was allowed to ferment.
In China, sushi gradually came to be associated less with rice until rice was hardly used, and at the same time, sushi itself ceased to exist.
By contrast, sushi came to be more and more closely related to rice in Japan until it developed into today's sushi which is eaten together with sushi rice.
