This has been featured around the Innernet recently, so why not here? Personally, my biggest skepticism is that I suspect it actually needs a mix of dark soy sauce and a much lighter sauce that floats on top?
I dunno though, maybe the ‘trenches’ are so deep that it works with simple soy sauce? Pretty dang clever, either way.

Gorgeous as a piece of art, mildly infuriating to be served this in a restaraunt… I want to dip in the sauce and be able to get to it.
I mean… you still can?
Also, this would be some high-end place no doubt, so you could basically ask for and receive whatever type of dish to fulfill your heart’s content, I should think.

“Bring me a pitcher of your finest soy sauce my good man”
“Tell you hwat-- bring me a pig on a stick, and fry 'em up good!”
“And bring the lady something for a dollar-and-a-half!”

Thanks! Self-killer to be precise. It’s an interesting read leading up to that work: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-final-shocking-self-portrait-of-richard-gerstl
For sure, I just hate the waste. You can never get to the dip inside the grooves and if you’re in a nice place you’re not pouring out of it onto your dish… I mean you can but etiquette and all lol
I bet with an absorbent food like rice balls you could pick up most of the sauce.
Just tip it up like the milk in your cereal bowl.
GAIJIN-SMASH! :D
Hell yeah I can get behind this!! 😂
I think we tend to use too much soy sauce anyway so this might be a sneaky way to make you use less?
If the itamae didn’t want me submerging my nigiri in soy sauce, he would have made it more buoyant.
Idk this helps prevent people from overdoing the amount of soy sauce. I can just dip the sushi on there and know it won’t be too much
