Sushi is a Japanese cuisine consisting of seasoned rice combined with other ingredients such as seafoods, vegetables, and sometimes fruits. Ingredients and forms of sushi vary wildly, but the main ingredients is rice. It could be made with either brown or white rice and is often served with pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce.

However, after the creation of the California roll during this time; the rest is history. American sushi trends to be larger and rice a little sweeter. Emphases were put on quantity and less on quality and so sushi in the U.S were bigger in portion, and colorful. However, change is not always bad American style sushi is now a trendy thing in Japan.
