Sushi did not originate in Japan, but a kind of food from Southeast Asia: local people mixed fish and rice dipped in salt water to produce acetic acid fermentation, and it was not until the Nara period (that is, the eighth century AD) that it began to slowly spread to Japan. The most familiar hand-held sushi, or Edo sushi, actually appeared on the Japanese table very late.
