Description

<p>‘Gokouen-Shoji-Todomecho' contains records on various subjects. From the ‘Gokouen-Shoji-Todomecho' records about the Okayama Korakuen during the Edo period, information about sushi was extracted. A total of 386 entries concerning sushi were analysed.</p><p>Twenty types of sushi were identified, including chirashi-zushi, bara-zushi, rolled sushi, and nori-maki. In some cases, such as chirashi-zushi and su-meshi, the sushi was named based on the identity of the provider. Rolled sushi and nori-maki were different types of sushi, with only one type of food being used in rolled sushi.</p><p>Additionally, different types of sushi were provided, based on the social status of the recipients.</p><p>It had been previously reported that these types of sushi originated in Okayama in the middle of the 16th century. However, according to the ‘Gokouen-Shoji-Todomecho' records, these types of sushi appeared in the middle of the 19th century. In Okayama, chirashi-zushi and bara-zushi appeared at different times. Chirashi-zushi was first seen in 1843 while bara-zushi was first seen in 1855.</p>
