Respect for sushi in Japan.

Traditionally, sushi chefs in Japan undergo years of rigorous training and apprenticeship under a master chef to learn the intricate techniques and skills required to make high-quality sushi.
Sushi has become popular worldwide and can be found in many different types of restaurants. It is considered a healthy and nutritious meal option, as it is low in fat and high in protein.
In Japan, sushi is viewed not only as a delicious and nutritious food but also as a representation of Japanese culture and tradition. The presentation of sushi is often meticulously crafted to enhance the visual appeal of the dish, and the quality of the ingredients is of utmost importance.
Additionally, in Japan, there are specific etiquette and customs associated with eating sushi. For example, it is considered impolite to rub chopsticks together, mix wasabi into soy sauce, or dip the rice side of the sushi into soy sauce.
Overall, sushi holds a special place in Japanese culture, and it is not only revered as a delicacy but also as an expression of art, craftsmanship, and respect for tradition.
The history of sushi can be traced back to the fourth century B.C. in Southeast Asia, where it was used as a means of preserving fish in fermented rice.
The popularity of sushi continued to grow, and by the early 1900s, sushi had become a symbol of Japanese culture. In the 1960s, sushi began to gain popularity outside of Japan, and it quickly became a global phenomenon.
