🍣 A Little History
Sushi appeared long before it became popular around the world. Initially, it was a way to preserve fish using fermented rice in Southeast Asia. Over time, the dish was transformed: in Japan, they began to serve fresh fish with vinegared rice, and by the 19th century, the first street vendors of sushi in its modern form appeared in Tokyo.

Today, sushi is a symbol of Japanese culture that has become loved all over the world.

📅 When is Sushi Day celebrated?
International Sushi Day is celebrated on June 18. Although the date is unofficial and not fixed at the state level, it is actively celebrated by restaurants, food bloggers, and lovers of Japanese cuisine.

🍥 How to celebrate Sushi Day?

Host a sushi party with friends — you can order it, or cook it together at home.

Try a new type of sushi — for example, eel nigiri or vegan rolls with avocado and tofu.

Sign up for a sushi-making master class.

Visit a Japanese restaurant, especially if they have Sushi Day promotions.

🍶 Bonus: what to drink with sushi?
The classics are green tea or sake. But cold drinks will also work: light white wine, ginger lemonade, or even Japanese beer.

Sushi Day is not only an excuse to indulge, but also an opportunity to immerse yourself in Japanese culture, spend time with loved ones, and treat yourself to something special. So get out your chopsticks, call your friends — and let your Sushi Day be delicious and fun!
