Until 1923, sushi was primarily served as street food.
After the 1923 earthquake that struck Japan, owning a restaurant became more accessible due to a rapid drop in property prices, and such estates gained popularity.
In the past, cheese was usually packed in black wax. Nowadays this is rarely done.
It is found either in foil packaging (such a cheese can not breathe) or wrapped in greased cheese wraps, which allow the cheese to breathe and at the same time protect it from dirt getting into it.
