A local dish that has been passed down in Omura since ancient times. During the ancient time, when feudal lord Omura Sumikore, who had been defeated in battle and had his territory taken away, fought back and regained his territory, the people of his territory made pressed sushi and served it to celebrate.    It is said to have originated. The reason why it was pressed sushi was because there weren’t enough tableware to feed a large number of soldiers. It is said that the people spread large quantities of freshly cooked rice in a shallow wooden box and quickly made pressed sushi with double toppings, which the soldiers then ate by cutting it into squares with a wakizashi. Due to this tradition, the locals have called it “Omura sushi, which means sushi to celebrate winning battles, ” and it is still valued as an indispensable dish for celebrations.
