Love them, hate them, deplore their government’s sense of geography and history, the Japanese culture is just plain cool. In this occasional series I will highlight peculiarities of this unique collection of people on that big island in the East Sea of Japan’s West…whatever.
Entry #1: Laser Decorated Sushi
- What the Japanese call a Makisushi and the Koreans call Kim Bap, has been given a long needed upgrade after languishing in insipidity for centuries. Apparently someone was sitting in the office trying to figure out a new use for lasers and decided to cut patterns into sheets of seaweed and presto! Decorative handrolls!
A tip of the hat to Nathan Schwartzman over at Asia Correspondent for spotting this.
