    Though the primary ingredient of Japanese sushi is flavored rice, non-Japanese people often often assume that the defining component is raw fish, and occasionally use "sushi" to mean "raw fish". Raw slices of fish (or other meats) served without rice are properly called sashimi''.Celeste Heiter, ''The Sushi Book (2007), page 11
