Story

Discover the surprising origins of sushi in this beautifully narrated video.
From fermented funazushi in Shiga, aged over two years, to ayu-zushi from Gifu made using traditional cormorant fishing, this journey traces sushi’s evolution over 1,200 years.
You’ll learn how ancient preserved fish transformed into the fresh, hand-pressed nigiri-zushi that became a favorite among Edo-period city dwellers.
Experience the history, craftsmanship, and cultural richness behind the sushi we know today.
