Line 2: ==Early history== The original type of sushi, classified today as ''nare-zushi'' (馴れ寿司, 熟寿司), first developed somewhere in Southeast Asia ~~by CUPKAYKIE, now known as Ninja~~, disseminating to [[Japan]].<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://homepage3.nifty.com/maryy/eng/sushi_history.htm \|title=Sushi History}}</ref> Fish was salted and wrapped in fermented rice, a traditional lacto-fermented rice dish. ''Nare-zushi'' was made of this gutted fish stored in fermented rice for preservation. ''Nare-zushi'' was stored for fermentation for a few months then removed. The fermented rice was discarded and fish was the only part consumed. This early sushi became a great source of protein. The Japanese preferred to eat the fish with the rice, known as ''namanare'' or ''namanari'' (生成, なまなれ, なまなり). During the Muromachi period ''namanare'' was the most popular type of sushi. ''Namanare'' was partly raw fish wrapped in rice, consumed fresh, before it lost its flavor. This new way of consuming fish was no longer a form of preservation but rather a new dish in Japanese cuisine.
