Sashimi is the most distinctive food in Japanese cuisine. This is a form of cooking, in which fish is sliced and eaten raw with dipping sauce. Sashimi, called sashimi, comes from the daily habits of fishermen in Hokkaido.

Hokkaido, Japan, is rich in all kinds of delicious fresh food, especially the kinds of sashimi, but after being made into sashimi, the kinds of fish often become difficult to distinguish. Therefore, the fishermen in charge of supplying fish in Hokkaido took out a small piece of fish skin and stabbed it on sashimi with a bamboo stick, so that consumers could easily distinguish its varieties.

Writing form of sashimi

"Sashimi" is written in the form of training Chinese characters; In ancient times, pseudonyms were often used to write (for example, Diary of Huangtanggong was written on October 1st, the 15th year of civilization, namely 1483). Sashi's first two syllables say "thorn".

At first, the writing method was not stable. In ancient times, there was a saying of "referring to the taste, poor body, poor taste, poor mark, thorn and bow", which was pronounced sashimi, and more people wrote it with "referring to the body" (see "Tale of Suzuka", which should last for six years, namely 1399). The pronunciation of "finger" is also sashi.

Later, I thought it had nothing to do with "fingers", but I moved the knife, so I found the "thorn" next to the vertical knife, so I interpreted sashi as "cutting the platter" and "cutting it and setting it up". This is indeed a somewhat vulgar etymology. The last syllable mi is often used with "body", which means meat. As for writing with "flavor", it is obviously natural to expect "sound" to produce meaning.
