While early forms os sushi have been around for centuries, modern sushi was created in 1800s in Tokyo, Japan. At first it was only served out of food carts and was eaten by hand. Because of this tradition it is perfectly acceptable to eat most form of sushi by hand, even in modern times. There are four main categories of sushi. Sashimi consists of thin slices of fish or seafood. Nigiri or Nigirisushiis a thin slice of fish or seafood served over a mound of pressed sushi rice. Makisushi or norimaki is rolled sushi wrapped in rice and seaweed sliced into round pieces. Temakisushi is sushi in a cone-shaped roll eaten by hand.
