[Sca-cooks] 1637 Hosokawa Sansai Kaiseki Meal

[Barbara Nostrand]

Noble Cousin!

Greetings from Solveig! There are several genres of sushi out
there. Originally, sushi was a means for preserving fish. While
chirashizushi is an old form of sushi, I now believe that
oshizushi is what you see being sold in picures of street
vendors dating from say the Genroku (early Edo) period. Oshizushi
is basically a shallow box of vinegared rice with sthin strips
of fish or what naught pressed down on top of it.
