Learn through this video program how to make delicious and pretty sushi.

Not originally a Japanese dish, sushi has its origins in a method of preserving freshwater fish developed by people along Southeast Asia's Mekong River.

The fish, gutted and cleaned, was placed in boiled rice in vessels where it was fermented.

The rice, which had become sour from the fermentation process, was discarded before the fish was eaten. However, the fish pickled in this way could be kept for up to a year.

Starting from the Mekong River, this preservation method also became popular in regions of China and from there spread to Japan. In China, this preservation method has not survived to this day. But fish preserved using this method is still eaten in both Thailand and Taiwan.

In Western countries, sushi became popular during the second half of the 20th century. The first sushi restaurants in western countries primarily aimed at Japanese customers living abroad.
