I can’t say that I have ever tried making sushi at home, but this roller design from Osko+Deichmann makes it seem like even the uninitiated could get the job done.
Someone sent a video camera on a seven-and-a-half minute ride on a sushi conveyer belt, capturing amused and surprised eaters as they discover that they’re the subject of someone’s weird tentacle-eating video.
Sushi is the greatest food on this earth, hands down. Some Tokyo filmmakers decided to place a digital camera on a sushi conveyor belt, following its journey from chef to customers. Sake nigiri, now?
Vikki Smyth is a designer that makes food presentation and table-top sets for high end hotels (W, Wynn’s places). Her signature piece, the Sushi-Ushi sushi tray, is gorgeous, and upstages anything that’s placed on it.
Hmmm…this Sushezi sushi tube looks familiar. While it is all but useless as a weapon, the tube can help the average Joe enjoy professional looking sushi at home with its easy roll feature. Now that I think about it, maybe you could use it as a weapon—a salmonellasaber with an incapacitating puke blade. Available for US$20. [Taylor Gifts via RGS]
Bandai Namco isn’t content on making weapon-based fighters for your game console, so they’ve delved into the sushi chef training business as well. this automatic sushi roller is the perfect toy for kids who are training to become a world renowned sushi shelf, as it rolls them up neatly and conveniently. It’s also a good present for kids who aren’t interested in sushi cooking at all, because it builds discipline and shows them who’s boss. [Bandai Namco via Tokyo Mango]
We’re not sure this these sushi robots are for “home use,” but who wouldn’t want their own mechanical man making sushi for them? The various rice-ball-forming machines make anywhere from 850 balls an hour up to 1200 balls an hour, and the various parts of the sushi robot lineup make 2000 to 3000 pieces an hour.
Sounds pretty industrial/restaurant to us, but great if you like to have sushi every day of the week. Or really like robots. – Jason Chen
