A sushi dinner box typically contains a variety of fresh raw or cooked fish, seafood, and vegetables expertly rolled with seasoned rice. Due to its delicate ingredients, especially raw fish, proper and immediate storage is crucial to maintain its exquisite flavor, texture, and ensure food safety.
Storage Time
Consume within 24 hours of purchase, ideally within a few hours for optimal taste and safety. Sushi is not suitable for pantry storage.
Temperature
Keep refrigerated at a consistent temperature between 0–4°C (32–39°F) immediately after purchase. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for more than one hour.
Signs of Spoilage
- A strong, pungent, or overly 'fishy' odor that is distinctly different from a fresh, mild sea scent.
- The fish appears dull, slimy, or discolored (e.g., greyish, brownish, or unusually pale).
- The rice becomes hard, dry, or develops a sour smell, indicating bacterial growth.
- Any visible mold growth on the rice or other ingredients.
