Musashi, I have read that this is one of the things that China has
influenced Japan, specifically during the Tang Dynasty (600 - 900
A.D.). Thousands of years ago, raw fish was widely eaten in China,
whether plain or vinergared. Nowadays you would rarely find it in the
more industrialized cities, like Hong Kong, because of "sanitary
concerns". My dad has talked about having it in his youth, in various
places in the Canton province - this would be 60+ years ago.
