Sushi was called NARE sushi in the seventh century. It was originally a way to preserve fish. The fish is salted and wrapped in rice. After the fish is fermented, the rice will produce lactic acid, so that the fish will be soaked to avoid spoilage. /kloc-in the middle of the 0/7th century, people added vinegar to sushi rice, which completely changed the making technology of sushi. This new method, also known as HAYA-SUSHI, can be made in half a day, because the acidity in vinegar accelerates the fermentation time and reduces the time for making sushi. About 200 years later, a sushi chef named Wu Yangping pressed sushi with his hands instead of stones, which was made by going up a flight of stairs. The art of sushi making, squeezed with his warm hands, and fermentation was almost completed at once. The method of making sushi now is still very similar to Wuyangping 200 years ago.
