History of Sushi:

Japan is an island nation, with its surrounding seas warmed by Kuroshio, the plankton-rich Japan Current, as well as an astonishing variety of fish and shellfish. The islands themselves are quite mountainous, and what little arable land exists is terraced and carefully cultivated to coax rice and a few other crops from the soil. Japan has always fed its dense population from both the seas and rice fields, so it is natural that its cuisine emphasizes that which nature provides. Sushi, the combination of raw fish and seasoned rice that seems so exotic to foreigners, is a supremely logical food in Japan.

Sushi centuries ago in Japan as a method of preserving fish. It is told that the origins of sushi came from the countries of Southeastern Asia. Cleaned, raw fish were pressed between layers of salt and weighted with a stone. After a few weeks, the stone was removed and replaced with a light cover, and a few months after that, the fermented fish and rice were considered ready to eat. Some restaurants in Tokyo still serve this original style of sushi made from freshwater carp (it is called narezushi), however its flavor is so strong that it obscures the fish's identity altogether, and narezushi is something of an acquired taste.

It wasn't until the 1900's that a clever chef named Yohei decided to forego the fermentation and serve sushi in something resembling its present form. It became very popular and two distinct styles emerged: Kansai-style, from the city of Osaka in the Kansai region, and Edo-style, from Tokyo, which was then called Edo. Osaka has always been the commercial capital of Japan, and the rice merchants there developed a sushi that consisted primarily of seasoned rice mixed with other ingredients and formed into decorative, edible packages. Tokyo, located on a bay then rich with both fish and shellfish, produced nigirizushi, featuring a select bit of seafood on a small pad of seasoned rice. Although the ornamental sushi of the Kansai region is still very popular, it is nigirizushi that foreigners are most familiar with. It is widely considered that nigirizushi is the origin of modern sushi.
