寿司 (sushi) is a traditional Japanese dish that typically consists of vinegared rice combined with various ingredients, including seafood, vegetables, and sometimes tropical fruits. The rice is seasoned with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, giving it a distinct flavor. Sushi can be served in various forms, such as nigiri (hand-formed rice topped with fish), maki (rolled sushi), and sashimi (sliced raw fish without rice). Sushi is often accompanied by condiments like soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger. It has gained popularity worldwide and is commonly enjoyed in sushi restaurants and as takeout. The art of making sushi is known as 寿司職人 (sushi shokunin), referring to skilled sushi chefs who master the techniques of preparation and presentation.
