Narezushi

Narezushi is an ancient form of fermented sushi that originated in Japan. It is one of the earliest sushi-making methods, dating back over a thousand years.

Narezushi is less commonly found today compared to other sushi varieties due to its intense flavors and lengthy fermentation process. Fish is salted and then placed in a container with layers of rice.

It holds historical significance in Japanese cuisine as it reflects the preservation techniques used in ancient times before the advent of refrigeration.
