International Sushi Day
About International Sushi Day
When is International Sushi Day? This holiday is always observed on June 18
Something’s fishy. That’s because today is International Sushi Day. This holiday is one that sushi lovers will celebrate to the max. However, Sushi is not for everyone. If you don’t like it, you can celebrate by not eating it. Or, you will celebrate one of the other June 18 holidays.
Sushi was created in Japan. But, like other great-tasting foods, the Japanese could not keep this culinary treat a secret within their borders. It is popular around the world. Sushi is a well-known type of Japanese cuisine, but it is often misunderstood. Most of us think of sushi as finger food containing raw fish. It certainly is finger food. But, there are many types. Not all types contain raw fish. So, we ask that you not hold your nose up to it. Rather, see what non-fish varieties there are and try them.
This relatively new special day is titled an “International” day. We found very little reference to this day outside of the U.S.
There is only one requirement for this day. Simply eat some sushi.
We hope you enjoy it!
