What does Sushi mean?!
Answers: Does all Sushi have raw fish? I heard it doesn't and Sushi is just the name of the type of rice used.
The word "sushi" refers to cold, cooked rice, moistened with vinegar. Sashimi is raw fish.
So no. Not all sushi has raw fish.
I m not sure what it means but I know its not all raw fish b/c i've had veggie sushi!!! Yumm I love sushi w/ lots of Washabi
nope. not all sushi uses raw fish. sometimes it's just cucumber and egg or it can contain roe or tuna, or some other fish, although not necessary raw.
sushi is the name of the food. the type of rice used is just japanese rice, which they add vinegar to it after cooking and roll it up with other ingredients to make sushi.

What does Sushi mean? What is sushi? These are the most common questions. Here is the defination: Sushi is a word for fermented things (food) in Japanese. But I would like to remember it as the word for good fish. In (Japanese) Kanji, Sushi can be written in one word (see the following image). The left part of the word means fish, the right part of the word means delicious or good. So as my Japanese teacher said sushi--good fish. Of course, sushi is not only limited by using fish, The material for sushi has a wide range as any type of cooking you can think of. From vegs to meat, the sky is the limited.
Sometimes, Sushi has been pronounced as Zushi. In Japanese, when two nouns combined as one phrase, the S sounds Z. This is a custom of the Japanese pronounciation. (As: nigiri sushi ==> nigirizushi)
The four types of sushi which we have often seen in the sushi restaurant are:
MAKI, NIGIRI, DONBIRI, TEMAKI.
MAKI (Sushi rools) is made with a bamboo mat, which is used to form strips of fish or veg and a mase of vinegar rice into long, seaweed-covered rolls. The rolls are them cut into slices.
NIGIRI (Hand-formed sushi) consists of a piece of fish or seafood placed on an oblong-shaped finger of lightly vinegared rice and usually season with a dab of horseradish.
DONBIRI (Bowl) consists of fish or meat and chopped vegetables arranged over a bowl of rice.
TEMAKI (Hand-rolls) is an other kind of maki-zushi, the finished hand-rolls is cone-shaped. It's eaten by hand.
