California rolls also have avocado, cucumber and cooked imitation crab meat called kamaboko or surimi.
Instead, a thin slice of raw or cooked fish is layered atop a mound of vinegary rice. If the sushi has raw fish, it is okay to take home some leftovers and store them in a refrigerator up to 24 hours. The vinegar produced from the fermenting rice ends up breaking down the fish meat into amino acids.
This, in turn, results in a strong umami flavor, which is one of the five basic tastes the human tongue can detect. Once the meat was properly fermented, thus preserved, the rice would then be discarded and only the meat itself would be eaten. Basically, it was just a handy way to preserve meat before ice boxes and refrigerators.
Modern forms of sushi are not typically prepared in this way and the rice is now the main part of the meal. Around the Muromachi period AD , they began adding vinegar, which aided in preserving the food and in improving the flavor.
Eventually, this lead to the fermentation process being shortened and ultimately abandoned in favor of just eating it right away with the rice.

Ebi shrimp , and Tako octopus are normally boiled before their use in sushi, at least in modern Japan. Or, you know, read the whole article where I expound on the topic at hand.

The whole point of the article was to dispel the common misconception that sushi is only sushi if it is raw fish or contains raw fish.
This is a prime example of a useless fact. Useless because sharing it with the sort of people who believe things without evidence changes nothing.
