(In Japan, often sound changes when the words are combined, like SUSHI to ZUSHI.) The essential ingredient for all types of SUSHI is vinegared rice, called SHARI in Japanese. Vinegared rice is a mixture of vinegar, sugar, salt and cooked rice and can be easily made at home. About 80% of the world's rice is long and slender indica rice, but short japonica rice is the most suitable for vinegared rice. At fussy SUSHI restaurants, sometimes very special rice are used, such as aged rice or red rice. Of course, nothing wrong with normal white rice at home.
