The 16th century saw the rise of Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who were instrumental in unifying Japan under a centralized government.
The Meiji Restoration in the late 19th century saw the overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate and the modernization of Japan.
Sushi, a dish made with vinegared rice and various fillings such as raw fish or vegetables, is one of the most famous Japanese foods and has become popular around the world.
