Well-known throughout the world as a healthy food that is simple, refined, and pleasing to the eye, sushi is the archetypal example of Washoku (Japanese cuisine). Inscribed in the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage, this exhibition presents the culture of sushi and its history, through life-size models of Nigiri-zushi, a replica of a typical sushi restaurant counter, a replica of a Kaiten-zushi (conveyor-belt sushi); history of sushi as depicted in the arts, in ukiyo-e prints and many more exhibits
