Hidden Sushi Varieties

Jenny Smith

Translator A Ai

Summary

Hidden Sushi Varieties unveils Japan’s lesser-known sushi traditions, challenging the notion that this iconic cuisine is limited to the rolls and nigiri found in modern restaurants. At its core, the book explores how geography, history, and cultural practices shaped diverse regional preparations—from Hokkaido’s fermented izushi to Okinawa’s leaf-wrapped kubari. By tracing sushi’s origins as an ancient preservation method, like the 8th-century narezushi, it reveals how communities adapted techniques to local ingredients, such as Shiga Prefecture’s carp-based funazushi. These stories highlight sushi’s true legacy: a dynamic, evolving craft rooted in necessity and ingenuity.

 
Structured into three sections, the book first demystifies sushi terminology and debunks myths of “authenticity,” then journeys through Japan’s prefectures to showcase specialties like Kyoto’s pressed saba-zushi and Toyama’s trout masu-zushi. Each chapter blends culinary analysis with cultural context, such as kelp-curing’s role in coastal rituals. The final section addresses modern threats to artisanal methods, advocating for sustainable practices.

 
Unique for pairing scholarly research with home-friendly recipes, Hidden Sushi Varieties bridges history and practicality, offering seasonal charts and adaptations like Akita’s sandfish sushi. Its vivid storytelling—whether describing fermented mackerel’s briny tang or mountain herbs in sansai-zushi—appeals to cooks, travelers, and historians alike, redefining sushi as a living tradition that thrives on curiosity and biodiversity.
