Apparently, many of you love sushi!
It's one of your common interests, and there are others too. That's the magic of social media—a modern crystal ball that can show us who you are, helping us get to know you better and write content that resonates with you!



Well, we share this common interest completely—I adore sushi too!
So, let me take the time to delve into this recipe and share with you the story of this creative little ball of rice with flavors from the Far East.
Sushi, at its core, is a harmonious blend of simple yet exquisite ingredients.
It all begins with the rice, meticulously cooked and seasoned with a delicate balance of vinegar, sugar, and salt.



This sticky canvas becomes the foundation for an artful masterpiece.
The history of sushi intertwines with the evolution of Japanese cuisine itself. As Japan opened its doors to the world in the 19th century, influences from abroad merged with traditional techniques, giving birth to a new era of culinary fusion.



Sushi, once a humble street food, began its ascent to gastronomic stardom.
In the early days, sushi was primarily a means of preservation, with fish being fermented in rice for months to develop complex flavors. However, as time went on, this preservation technique evolved into a culinary craft.



Chefs sought to bring out the natural flavors of the fish, delicately pairing them with the perfect blend of rice and subtle seasonings.
The popularity of sushi soared in the 20th century, not just in Japan but around the world. As travel became more accessible and international palates became more adventurous, sushi found its way onto menus far beyond its birthplace. It became a symbol of elegance, sophistication, and a celebration of Japanese culture.
Today, Bruxelles is home to a thriving sushi scene, where culinary artisans push the boundaries of creativity. From traditional sushi bars serving omakase menus to modern establishments offering innovative flavor combinations, there is a sushi experience to suit every palate.

Finally, if you're wondering or someone asks, here's the difference between Sushi, Maki and Sahimi!

Sushi is composed of vinegared rice shaped into small mounds, typically topped with a slice of raw fish or seafood such as shrimp.

On the other hand, maki takes the form of a roll with a sheet of seaweed called nori wrapped around vinegared white rice.
The rice is then filled with various ingredients such as tuna, fish, cream cheese, vegetables (like cucumber), and more.

As for sashimi, it consists solely of thinly sliced pieces of raw fish, often served on its own without rice or any other accompaniments.

Enjoy and have a great dinner in Japan in Brussels!
