sushi

sushi
Noun
pl: sushi

This term refers specifically to the vinegared rice, not just the raw fish. While often used colloquially to describe any Japanese raw fish dish, the presence of shari (seasoned rice) is the defining characteristic of the dish.

In English, the word is typically treated as an uncountable mass noun when referring to the food in general. However, it can be used countably when referring to specific types, varieties, or individual pieces of sushi.
