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.

I'm afraid I need to know where to purchase these in the UK. It's a matter of vital cational security, erm I mean national security obviously.

I got this one and a couple others like it in Tokyo.

Nothing suspicious about it, dark but not fully opaque fluids like soy sauce start out light but get darker as it gets deeper

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Like water, I guess?

Looks so clear and 'pure,' but then when you fill the pool up..?

[–] NightFantom@slrpnk.net 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Exactly so, except that soy sauce needs a lot less to show the effect!

I got these (and the chopstick holders) as a wedding gift from a friend in Japan, we either used kikoman low sodium or the soy sauce that was included with the sushi

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

The top one is boss. Makes me wish there were Nazca-line versions, which culturally makes no sense(!)

That origami crane holder is also pretty cool...

I have 2 of these, one with a cat and the other with a fish. They wash off super easy. It’s just soy sauce.

That is cool as fuck.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

Wow that's a smart design!

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 3 points 2 days ago

This is so neeeat!!

[–] lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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.

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 19 points 2 days ago (7 children)

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.

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

I never realized until now that those shrine structures look a lot like native north american "Inukshuks".
