Sushi is a Japanese dish now famous the world over.

It is named after one of its main components: boiled sushi rice that is flavored with sweetened rice vinegar while still hot and left to cool. Sushi rice is often rolled up in dried seaweed called nori and paired with ingredients that commonly include raw fish, as well as vegetables, tofu, eggs, cooked fish and other ingredients. Sushi is served with soy sauce with wasabi paste, or ponzu and shredded daikon radish.

But sushi is not Japanese for raw fish.

That dish is called sashimi. So the next time someone says they don't like sushi, what they're really saying is that they don't like rice.
