The History of Nigiri Sushi

In the early Edo period, fishermen working at the fish market in Edo came up with a way to make food that was easy to carry between jobs. They made sushi by placing ingredients on vinegared rice instead of wrapping it in seaweed, and rolling it by hand. This method is said to be the beginning of nigiri sushi.

At first it was a simpler version of sushi wrapped in nori seaweed, but its ease and deliciousness gained a reputation and it gradually became more popular.

In the mid-Edo period, sushi chefs appeared and nigiri sushi developed into a luxury food. Sushi chefs competed with each other to show off their skills, and nigiri sushi combining various ingredients was born.
