On Sunday, December 13, 2026 from 2-4pm, join us for an online presentation with Eric C. Rath, professor of history at the University of Kansas and author of Oishii: The History of Sushi. Rath will explore sushi’s fascinating evolution from its origins as a fermented food in Japan more than 1,200 years ago to the many forms we enjoy today. Discover how centuries of efforts to shorten fermentation transformed sushi, and why traditional fermented varieties may offer exciting new possibilities for modern tastes and flavors.
