The word 寿司 means vinegared rice, which is why \u003cem\u003esashimi\u003c\/em\u003e — sliced raw fish with no rice — technically isn't sushi at all. The family is much wider than the nigiri that represents it abroad: \u003cem\u003enigiri-zushi\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003emaki-zushi\u003c\/em\u003e rolls, \u003cem\u003egunkan-maki\u003c\/em\u003e wrapped in a collar of nori, \u003cem\u003etemaki\u003c\/em\u003e hand-rolled cones, and \u003cem\u003echirashi-zushi\u003c\/em\u003e scattered over a bowl of rice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ehistory\u003c\/strong\u003e of the modern version runs through Edo — now Tokyo — in the early nineteenth century. Around 1820, a chef named Hanaya Yohei popularised a form that could be made and eaten fast: nigiri as we know it. Before that, sushi was primarily a preservation technique, fish fermented in vinegared rice over months, called \u003cem\u003enarezushi\u003c\/em\u003e. Yohei's Edo nigiri changed the everyday relationship Japan had with the dish, and set up the global spread that followed a century later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe embroidery lines up \u003cstrong\u003efour pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e as a frieze: a salmon nigiri with the orange grain of the fish, an avocado maki wrapped in black nori with its filling showing at the cut, a tuna nigiri in deep \u003cem\u003eakami\u003c\/em\u003e red, and a cucumber \u003cem\u003ekappa\u003c\/em\u003e maki with its green and white disc. It reads as the tasting set a good sushi-ya puts down at lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-profile bucket shape holds the color — the orange, the red, the black of the nori, the green. Wear it with a food graphic tee, cargo shorts and white sneakers, or with a chambray overshirt and loose trousers for something calmer. The brim gives coverage a cap cannot. Made for people who eat sushi properly, who sit at the counter, and who make it at home badly and keep trying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e98% cotton, 2% elastane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid profile, 7.5 cm (3 in) brim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne size: 54.9-60 cm (21.6-23.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft inner lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat seams and clean finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Japan Clothing","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":53756618342747,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":53756618375515,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Khaki","offer_id":53756618408283,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":53756618441051,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/9300\/2473\/files\/bucket-hat-sushi-selection-black.jpg?v=1786454190","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/bucket-hat-sushi-selection","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
