What does the word 鮨 mean in Japanese cuisine?

Represents sushi. The name "Sushi" is the Man'yōkana version of the character "鮨".

Sushi is a traditional Japanese delicacy. In ancient Japan, sushi was salted fish marinated in salt and rice. It later evolved into today's sushi. "Sushi" was written as "鮨" (すし) in ancient Japan, and its original meaning was "salted fish".

It is often said in Japan that "where there are fish, there is sushi." This food is said to originate from subtropical coastal and island areas. People there discovered that if cooked rice is put into a clean fish chamber, , accumulated in a jar and buried in the ground, it can be stored for a long time, and the food will also produce a slightly sour flavor due to fermentation, which is the prototype of sushi (ie: sushi).
