Sushi rice or sushi rice used for sushi. It can also refer simply to white rice. The origin of the name is said to come from the Buddhist term “shari,” which means “to cut” when mixing rice and sushi vinegar. Shari means the cremated “bones of Buddha,” and it is said that the rice came to be called “shari” because the white and small size of the finely crushed remains resembles a grain of rice.
