sushi

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from Japanese 寿司(すし) (sushi, “sushi (sour rice)”), ultimately from archaic conjugation 酸(す)し (sushi, “sour, vinegared”) of modern adjective 酸(す)い (sui, “sour, vinegared”). === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) enPR: so͞osh'i, IPA(key): /ˈsuːʃi/ (General American, Canada) IPA(key): /ˈsuʃi/ (Scotland, Northern Ireland) IPA(key): /ˈsʉʃe/, /ˈsʉʃɪ/, /ˈsʉʃi/ Rhymes: -uːʃi Homophone: souchy === Noun === sushi (usually uncountable, plural sushis or sushi) A Japanese dish made of small portions of sticky white rice flavored with vinegar, usually wrapped in seaweed and filled or topped with fish, vegetables or meat. (countable, rare) One of the portions from this dish. (proscribed) Raw fish, especially as a Japanese dish. ==== Usage notes ==== Some non-Japanese people assume the defining component of sushi is raw fish, and occasionally use "sushi" to mean "raw fish". Raw slices of fish (or other meats) served without rice are properly termed sashimi. The collective plural of sushi is generally sushi. When referring to two or more types of sushi or to multiple instances of sushi the plural is usually sushis. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Translations ==== ==== See also ==== California roll nigiri
