壽司(日語平假名:すし(sushi,也作「鮨」或「鮓」)是傳統日本食品,相傳是源自古時中國漁民的創作。主要材料是用醋調味過的冷飯(簡稱醋飯),再加上魚肉、海鮮、蔬菜或雞蛋等作配料。既可以作為小吃也可以作正餐,花色種類繁多。配料可以是生的、也可以是熟的,或者醃過的。視乎配料的不同,不同壽司的價格、檔次差距甚大。
壽司在日本以外地區也十分流行,世界各地迴轉壽司式的壽司店也多不勝數。不過外國人有時會誤把「壽司」與「刺身」(sashimi,生魚片)混為一談。
In Japanese cuisine, Sushi (寿司, Sushi?) is a food made of vinegared rice combined with various toppings or fillings, especially seafood but also vegetables, mushrooms, eggs, or meat. Most, but not all, fish used in sushi is raw; other ingredients may be cooked, blanched, or marinated.
Sushi as an English word has come to refer to the complete dish (rice together with toppings); this is the sense used in this article. The original term Japanese: 寿司 sushi (-zushi in some compounds such as makizushi), written with kanji (Chinese characters) refers to the rice, not the fish or other toppings.[1]
Outside of Japan, sushi is often misunderstood to mean only clumps of rice topped with raw fish or even the raw fish by itself, as well to refer to other raw-seafood dishes, such as sashimi (sushi and sashimi are considered distinct in Japan).
There are various types of sushi. Sushi served rolled in nori (dried sheets of laver, a kind of pressed and dried alga) is called maki (rolls). Sushi made with toppings laid onto hand-formed clumps of rice is called nigiri; sushi made with toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu is called inari; and sushi made with toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice is called chirashi-zushi, or scattered sushi.

⊙壽司一詞的起源:壽司一族認為壽司二字的起源,應是形容醋飯酸味的相通發音所衍申而來,至於寫成平假名的すし(音sushi)指的是醃漬發酵過的魚貝,而同樣的讀音可寫成「鮨」、「鮓」以及「寿司」。通常,關西地區的壽司

⊙「江戶前壽司」:江戶也就是現在東京的前身,當地最著名的食物便是「江戶前壽司」(相較於「關西壽司」,又稱為「關東壽司」),最早起源於文化年間(西元1804-1817年)。幕府時代後期(西元1800年左右),江戶(東京舊名)有日本橋和芝濱2個主要漁貨市場,其中,芝濱專門批發販賣江戶灣(現東京灣)的現撈海產,因所賣漁獲皆質佳、新鮮,芝濱因而享有「江戶前」(在江戶灣前捕獲)的美譽,「江戶前」也就成為「新鮮漁獲」的等同詞。而強調江戶前(江戶派)也是從此時開始。
