Hello everyone, my name is Yukari Watanuki. Today is I’d like to talk about my favorite Japanese food. It is Sushi. I think Sushi is the gastronomic culture that Japan can be proud of in foreign countries. Indispensable thing of sushi is Wasabi and Grain vinegar. Wasabi is Japanese horseradish. My hometown; Nagano is very prosper of it. It has the medical effect and prevents rots of foods. Grain vinegar is made of wheat or sake less or rice and so on. It has the medical effect too. These two things were add and born was Japanese food called Sushi. A character called a Sushi becomes like “鮨”, when writing with a Chinese character.However, there is also the method; writing with a Chinese character of “寿司”. 鮨 is the Chinese character attached from the meaning. It is very simple mean; a fish is nice. But寿司 is a phonetic equivalent. People often ate sushi when an auspicious occasion occurs. 寿means congratulation. 司means manages. So, 寿司 is used way of notation method this Chinese character. Two or more notation methods have very fanny in one thing. Now Sushi is major food in world. First, Sushi bar was open in America in 1980’s. It became a trigger and sushi spread in the over the world. Then, California roll was born in America. Foreign country people don’t like row fish. So, cook serviced to use not row fish like a vegetable and avocado. It is famous American sushi. Let’s challenge for eating California roll. Sushi is very healthy food. Therefore, I want everyone to eating sushi. Thank you for listening.
