75% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: Japan

Sushi is much more than a simple assembly of fish and rice; it is a pillar of Japan’s cultural identity. Its origins date back to an ancient technique of preserving fish in fermented rice, but the modern form we know originated in Tokyo in the 19th century.The precision required to prepare the vinegared rice, called "shari", and the cutting of the fish demonstrate a typically Japanese quest for perfection. This dish embodies respect for the seasons and the promotion of natural products without excessive artifice.Today, sushi has become one of the most powerful ambassadors of Japanese cultural diplomacy, exported to all continents. By understanding the history of sushi, we discover a philosophy of patience and detail, reminding us that cooking is an art of transmission and sharing between generations.
