What does Sushi mean?
/ˈsuʃi/

Sushi takes its name from the Japanese dish of vinegared rice paired with fish, vegetables, or other toppings, a cuisine that's become a household word far beyond Japan. The word itself originally referred to the tartness of the vinegared rice rather than to raw fish.

Compact and full of flavor, Sushi is a playful pick for a small, tidy pet, especially one with a black-and-white or roll-shaped coat pattern. It has a fun, food-loving energy without taking itself too seriously.
