Sushi, the most famous type of Japanese food,

is made with cooked vinegared rice topped with other ingredients such as seafood, meat or vegetables.
Ingredients and forms of sushi presentation may greatly vary, but the main ingredient that all sushi has in common is rice. Sashimi is often mistaken for sushi and is also a Japanese delicacy, consisting of thinly sliced raw meat or fish and is not always served with rice.

Sushi pieces can be prepared with either brown or white rice. It is often prepared with raw seafood, but some common varieties of sushi use cooked ingredients and many are vegetarian. You usually serve Sushi with wasabi, soy sauce and pickled ginger (to clean your palate and also asepticize your stomach from possible fish bacteria). Popular garnishes are often using sliced daikon.
