Shark Sushi Plate: Big Fish Eat Little Fish

I love sushi. Not only does it taste good, it’s actually one of the more healthy things you can put in your body. I really should eat more of the stuff. But I have a thing about only eating it when it’s freshly made in a restaurant. I never buy the pre-made rolls in the grocery – and definitely don’t possess the knife skills to make my own. But maybe owning this sushi plate would inspire me to eat sushi at home more often.

Roland TB-303 Sushi: Bass Fishin’

The Roland TB-303 bass sequencer is one of electronic music’s founding fathers, which had its heyday in the early 1980s, and later became the backbeat to just about every piece of house and rave music ever recorded, and is still popular with musicians today. And while Roland is no longer making this seminal synthesizer, at least you can now eat one. Say what?

What you’re looking at here isn’t a synthesizer at all, but a delicious Japanese sushi dish, prepared to look like a TB-303.

I’m not sure what all of the ingredients are, but there’s definitely plenty of rice, and some salty salmon roe in place of the LEDs. In the immortal words of Blondie, Eat to the Beat!

Out squirts a perfectly round sushi roll ready to be wrapped in seaweed and sliced. It’s like one of those old Play-Doh Fun Factory machines, but with fish and rice instead!
