Sushi originated during the Edo period, and is a famous Japanese cuisine loved throughout the world. There are many sushi restaurants in Tokyo that pay their particular attention to the source of their ingredients and its freshness, and sushi chefs also pay detailed attention to their techniques and preparation methods.
