The common ingredient in all types of ''[[List of types of sushi|sushi]]'' is vinegared ''[[#sushi rice|sushi]]'' rice. Fillings, toppings, condiments, and preparation vary widely.<ref>{{cite book|author=Kawasumi, Ken|title=The Encyclopedia of Sushi Rolls|publisher=Graph-Sha|year=2001|isbn=978-4-88996-076-1}}</ref>
Due to ''{{transl|ja|[[rendaku]]''}} [[consonant mutation]], ''sushi'' is pronounced with ''{{transl|ja|zu''}} instead of ''{{transl|ja|su''}} when a prefix is attached, as in ''{{transl|ja|nigirizushi''}}.

''Inarizushi'' ({{nihongo2nihongo|稲荷寿司|Inarizushi}}) is a pouch of [[Aburaage|fried tofu]] typically filled with ''sushi'' rice alone. Tales tell that ''{{transl|ja|inarizushi''}} is named after the Shinto god [[Inari (mythology)|Inari]]. Foxes, messengers of Inari, are believed to have a fondness for fried [[tofu]], and an ''Inari-zushi''{{transl|ja|inarizushi}} roll has pointed corners that resemble fox ears.<ref>[[Karen Ann Smyers|Smyers, Karen Ann]]. ''The Fox and the Jewel: Shared and Private Meanings in Contemporary Japanese Inari Worship''(1999), Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, p. 96.</ref>
Regional variations include pouches made of a thin [[omelette]] ({{nihongo2lang|ja|帛紗寿司}}, ''{{transl|ja|fukusa-zushi''}}, or {{nihongo2lang|ja|茶巾寿司}}, ''{{transl|ja|chakin-zushi''}}) instead of tofu. It should not be confused with ''{{transl|ja|inari maki''}}, which is a roll filled with flavored fried tofu.
