HOW MODERN SUSHI HAS EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS

HISTORY AND RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE

Starting in 9th century Japan, where Buddhism was spreading, meat consumption was limited so many turned to fish instead. This influence caused sushi to become more popular and begin evolving. History and inventions also helped evolve modern sushi in many ways like the expansion to other countries through Japanese immigrants who created new types of sushi.

THE RISE IN POPULARITY

Modern sushi has evolved in terms of its popularity. In the past, sushi was primarily enjoyed by Japanese people or wealthy people. However, over the years, it has become popular all over the world. There are now sushi restaurants in almost every major city, and all different people can enjoy sushi. Yamamori is proud to be your local sushi restaurant in Dublin, Ireland.

PRESENTATION EVOLUTION

One other way that sushi has evolved is in terms of its presentation. Modern sushi chefs often use unique and creative presentations to make their sushi stand out, but in the past, the presentation was more simple. For example, they might use a flower or a fruit as a garnish on the plate. They might also create elaborate sushi rolls that are beautiful to look at.

FLAVOR EVOLUTION

Sushi has also evolved in terms of its flavour. In the beginning, fermented sushi was standard and featured vinegared rice and fish for the most part. However, modern sushi chefs have been experimenting with new flavours and ingredients, and as a result, sushi has become different with many types and flavours.
