What century was sushi first served?

The origins of sushi go back to the 5th century B.C. in southeast Asia, where people preserved fish in fermented rice as a way to preserve it.

By the 19th century, sushi was being sold as street food in Japan. In the late 1800s, the first sushi restaurant opened in Tokyo.

Today, sushi is enjoyed all over the world. There are many different types of sushi, but the most popular are nigiri sushi and maki sushi.
