Sushi as such appeared hundreds years ago, originally  being a means of storing fish. Crude fillet was placed in layers, richly salted and put under stone press. Some time later stone was replaced by a lighter cover and remained for a month again. After all, when the fish considered to rather fermented, it was ready to be eaten.  Some Tokyo restaurants still offer sushi , made of fermented fish-naruzushi- which have specific sweetish taste and pungent smell, so it`s hard to define the sort of fish.  In the beginning of the 20th century a Japanese cook gave up process of rotting fish and to serve sushi in the form becoming now traditional, that is fresh crude fillet and definitely cooked rice. Nowadays there is a great number of sushi- fuki sushi, naruzushi, maki sushi, temaki sushi and whatnot; and this number constantly increases.
Fuki sushi is one of these varieties, being made with addition of rhubard growing on the swamps and lakes. It reveals favourably taste of fresh fish and builds a good combination with spicy sauce.
