The exact history of sushi is unclear, and claims of its origin date back as early as the 5th century BC. Technically, sashimi is raw fish, while sushi means “vinegared rice.” In fact, depending upon how you interpret the kanji symbols that make up the word “sushi,” it can also translate to “delicious fish.” If you’ve spent much time in Japanese restaurants, you know that sushi isn’t necessarily raw at all, since many rolls and nigiri-zushi are made with cooked foods, such as shellfish, eggs, seared tuna, and eel. These days, we think of sushi as a raw-fish delicacy, but that’s not actually the case. Was he in too much of a hurry to cook it over an open flame? Was he so hungry that he couldn’t wait to get a fire going? Or did he simply take a leap of faith and sample a bite out of curiosity? Whatever the reason, we at Mikuni are glad he decided to try something different, and we’re grateful for the discovery of this amazing cuisine. You may have wondered about the person who first pulled a wriggling fish out of the ocean, cut it open, and decided to eat it raw. Whether you like your fish raw or seared to perfection…whether chicken or beef strikes your fancy…this is where you’ll find the best of the best. Our restaurants in Sacramento (midtown and Arden Fair), Roseville (Eureka Road and The Fountains), Fair Oaks, Folsom, Elk Grove, Davis, and Concord, all promise the highly original Mikuni brand of culinary excellence.
