Sushi Dog Food: Inari (fox) Sushi
Story of Food: [must be 250 words minimum]
I chose Inari Sushi, otherwise known as fox sushi as my important food. Inari sushi was the first sushi type item that I was introduced to that got me into eating sushi. Its importance can be seen in both the past and the present.
I was introduced to Inari sushi by my first queer relationship. They are Korean adopted into an American family and had a special love for sushi. We would get off the bus together at their stop, where they would make Inari fresh and homemade, with a dipping sauce concoction that I don’t remember all the ingredients to. In order to get my first ever kiss, I was encouraged to learn how to use chopsticks properly which has served me into the present and future. This person also played a big role in me exploring my gender to discover that I did not align with my sex assigned at birth. Turns out neither of us did, I found out a few years ago.
In the present, being introduced to sushi via a cooked, non fish based roll allowed me to establish a love for sushi and ease my way into other sushi types. Without this love, there would be a big gap in connection with my wife. My wife’s favorite food and safe food is sushi, she is the type of person who would absolutely eat sushi every single day if allowed. Without Inari sushi to teach me there was more than just raw fish rolls, I never would have explored sushi options nor would I know how to use chopsticks.
For Tenko’s design, I used some motifs from research about the deity Inari. Inari among other representations is the primary protector of rice cultivation whos name can mean rice-bearer. These tofu pockets filled with rice were assumed to be a favorite food for foxes that lingered around rice fields. The foxes were seen as messengers and envoys to the deity Inari, the food offered to the foxes was seen as a way to receive blessings of prosperity and fertility from Inari through her messengers. Inari was most often depicted with a white fox or kitsune (spirit fox).
