Because it is served over moulded vinegar rice and contains raw fish, nigiri may be regarded as a form of sushi. Hanaya Yohei, a resident of Edo’s Ryogoku neighbourhood in the 1820s, is thought to have invented nigiri. He ran his own sushi shop near the Sumida River to keep the fish as fresh as possible and avoid having to ferment it.
As a result, sushi could now be served quickly rather than needing to wait for it to ferment for a lengthy time. Nigiri thus gained popularity among large groups of people and developed into a significant sushi staple.
