The reason why sushi is 2 pieces per plate

(1)Sushi, a Japanese food loved by both East and West
(2)But in most sushi restaurants, like the picture above
(3)It is common to put two pieces of sushi using the same ingredients on a small plate
(4)Why is that? It’s not what it’s supposed to be
(5)You could say that, but that wasn’t the way it was!
(6)Sushi was originally a fermented food
(7)If you wrap the fish with rice and press it down with a stone
(8)Lactic acid came out of the rice and was fermented, so the fish could be stored for a long time
(9)Originally, rice was not for eating, but for fermentation and storage
(10)But since Kamakura era, Japanese people have been saying that this is such a waste of rice
(11)That’s what I thought, and the early form of sushi emerged, where you eat rice at once in the middle of fermentation
(12)Therefore, early sushi was in the form of a square hakozushi made by pressing it with a mold like the picture above
(13)Due to the development of the working shift system and commerce during the Edo Shogunate period, the floating population of Edo was crowded
(14)In order to sell rice to them, there are many stalls called Yatai in Edo
(15)Sushi is also popular like fast food because it is easy to eat
(16)There were a lot
(17)There was a problem
(18)Fermenting fish is very time consuming
(19)There are a lot of people who want to eat sushi simply, but the supply and demand of ingredients
(20)It’s slow
(21)So the solution that came out is
(22)Let’s sprinkle vinegar on the rice to make it taste fermented
(23)Edo is close to the sea, so raw fish can be supplied indefinitely
(24)After removing the fermentation process of the fish, the rice was sprinkled with vinegar to preserve its flavor
(25)Let’s not put it in the mold. Let’s just hold it with our hands and throw it away
(26)I’d rather squeeze it with my hands than frame it in a cramped cart bar
(27)Give it to me now
(28)At the time, it was fermented, but it didn’t ferment and I ate it with vinegar
(29)And you have to press it with the mold, but you roughly held it with your hand
(30)It’s a food that’s made by Noh Geun-bon
(31)It tastes good and has a good turnover, so it’s an unprecedented hit
(32)The sushi that we know now has hardened into its appearance

(1)But after World War II
(2)Japan, which procured scarce food from Joseon, Taiwan, and Thailand during the war
(3)MacArthur’s GHQ, which was installed after the defeat, is a basic directive for Japanese occupation and management
(4)The Allies bear no responsibility for Japan maintaining a certain level of living
(5)I announce that
(6)It is a punitive measure against Japan for starting the war
(7)As a result, one-third of the people in postwar Japan have no rice to eat
(8)Rice prices face a food disaster that jumps 130 times
(9)Funny how this happened to MacArthur, the person responsible for the disaster
(10)Food problems will be solved if Koreans in Japan are expelled, which eats four times more
(11)There were also Japanese who sent letters saying that it would be possible
(12)Like Japan, where the ship was dry at the end of the war, fishing boats also bottomed out due to mines they had installed to defend themselves near the tribe
(13)As a result, Japan is literally suffering from starvation
(14)Japan’s government issues emergency measures for food rationing and restaurant operations to tackle this
(15)It was to prohibit business except in restaurants where food rationing was conducted and the right to ration was enforced
(16)As a result, many restaurants were unable to operate, and sushi restaurants, which were major restaurants, were the same
(17)The amount of sushi rice in the Edo period is significantly different on the left and the right side of modern sushi
(18)Sushi restaurant owners who are about to close their businesses. They’re trying to trick them
(19)Instead of making and selling sushi, shouldn’t you get a sushi manufacturing fee from the person who brought rice
(20)They started making sushi for only fish and labor costs for those who brought rice that was distributed
(21)They don’t make and sell food, but they make rice with the rice that the customer brought and return it with fish
(22)The invincible logic of consignment processing, not restaurant business, is created
(23)In the end, Tokyo City Hall couldn’t argue with this logic
(24)Well, then I’ll let you do it, so I’ll give you a j-hope of rice per person to 10 sushi
(25)Just make it
(26)have a limitation of
(27)Until then, the sushi industry, which was the size of the owner’s choice, passed this restriction
(28)So it’s uniformed into a certain size
(29)To make 10 pieces of rice, j-hope
(30)As I said above, the catch was not enough, so I ate each sushi in a different way
(31)I couldn’t make it into a line
(32)Two pieces of the same fish were made and placed on a plate
(33)It’s to make 10 pieces with 5 kinds of fish
(34)This is where one serving of sushi is usually 10 pieces
(35)1 After the war, rationing was implemented due to catastrophic food shortages
(36)2. Receiving ingredients and making them is not a restaurant business, but a consignment processing business
(37)I think so
(38)The national rule for 2 pieces per fish is 10 pieces for 1 person
