The Roots of Sushi

Sushi as we know it has its beginnings in various traditional Asian dishes. It was the fast food of its time. Rice, seafood, and veggies. A quick meal for working people. What we think of as sushi, the rolled, tube-like form evolved around the turn of the 19th century.

The first sushi shop in the US is said to have opened in Los Angeles in 1906. The popularity of the dish emerged again in the 1950s and has grown steadily as quality ingredients and training have become more available.

Now in the 2020s, you can find good sushi in every state, even on the plains of South Dakota.
