The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Comedian Mitch Hedberg once said, “I like rice. Rice is great if you’re hungry and want 2000 of something.” So, if you have the patience and a tiny knife, you can satiate yourself with a few thousand pieces of One Grain Sushi.
Mimine Miniature is here to show us how to slice tiny pieces of fish, while strategically placing them on a single grain of rice. Hedberg would’ve loved this.

A filled soy dish is a wonderful thing, because it often means that sushi is imminent. But, let’s face it, a plain ol’ soy dish looks like nothing more than a salty black pool.
Tokyo-based product designer, Duncan Shotton, is here to change that with Soy Shapes. The ceramic dishes are designed to reveal 3-D optical illusions when filled.
The “impossible” triangle and cube dishes are currently on Kickstarter. You can find out more about the project here.

Stop eating sushi in boring cylinder-form… Sushi Donuts now exist.
Brought to us by the maker of Galaxy Donuts, Sam (@sobeautifullyraw), Sushi Donuts are our new circular obsession.
The best part, besides the potential for sushi donut holes, is that there’s no guilt in eating several dozen of these donuts. They’re vegan, formed in a donut mold without frying, and topped appropriately.
