“I like sushi” is a photoblog that I like to visit. Some of the images seems to be personally taken, others are sushi images I too have seen around online.
It was on this photo blog that I found the last “Sushi cake”, and this one is just as impressive. It really does not look like sushi. Looks yummy, though. Hungry now…

A sushi committing suicide… We are talking proper Sushi OR Death here.
Now this is some of the most inventive use of photography I have seen in a long time. This girl (not sure, but the style tells me it is a girl…) adds texts and graphics on top of the photographs and tells the story that way. Here is the sad story of the korean maki sushi killing itself. The desperate pleads of it’s sushi friend is not helping… You don’t really need a translation. We understand what the Korean is saying without really reading it. Very funny!
So sad when young food goes to waste…

More people obsessed with making sushi out of other things than rice and fish… Here is another one I found on Craftster.com - who made some sushi out of polymer clay for her mom for her birthday. She says:

Do you remember Habbo Hotel? I remember it for being one of the first, really original communities online. To some degree it still is I think. This 3D pixelworld that invites you in for things like chats, a swim in the pool, live music concerts or sex education (!) is a weird mix of a game, what feels like an actual, physical environment and virtual reality. They have an amazingly 75 million users registered! Now they also do sushi! They recently had a competition where you were to build your own sushi restaurant. From the invitation for the competition:

They are competing about who is first to finish eating a sushi roll that is 6m (20 feet) long? It is filled with tuna, mystery fish and a stretch has only pure wasabi. Wow! Impressive. And kind of disgusting too. I feel like they won’t be having more sushi rolls in a while. I would not want to cure my sushi hang-up that way.
I am in the sushi cake mood these days. Gotten to be a visual sweet tooth. The guys at the Evil Mad Scientist Lab made their dessert to look like sushi and a lot of it too! Impressive!
To make this dessert sushi they used a simple white cake in the bottom, sliced to look like little cakes of rice. For wasabi, they used hard icing with a little bit of green food color added, and the the seaweed (nori) wrapper is made of something called “Fruit by the foot,”. The toppings include thin sliced twizzlers, miniature jawbreakers (as roe), and Swedish Fish (gummy fish?). From their description of the process:

I am not sure if the smell is what I enjoy most about the sushi experience. Yes, it plays a very important part of it, but from that to wearing it like perfume… I don’t know.
In addition to the “typical” cologne spray, the sushi scent is also available in Bath and Shower oils and gels, calming lotion and room spray! This is interesting. Wanna have your house smell like a sushi bar?
The company that sells this innovative and exiting fragrance is Demeter Fragrance Library. They are said to specializes in “everyday” scents. From their website they state about the smell of the sushi scent:

It is almost sushi the Swedish chef is making, and it gives us a small view into how hard it is to kill a (muppet) fish! I sympathize with the swedish chef. Ordiibooordi fishy… Yeah. We pretty much talk the same language. And I think we have some similarities when it comes to cooking too!
This was so cheesy that it cracked me up. It is a sushi roller! And nigiri maker. I have not tried it, so I can’t really be hard on it other than it is not the “proper japanese way” of making sushi.

I found this online image tag viewer while “Stumbling“, where you can externally search for photographs tagged with sushi in Flickr. You can of course search for whatever tag you would like, really. But we searched for sushi. And sashimi. And bento…
Because in addition to getting a gallery of 36 images at the time, you also get to see what other tags are related to sushi in Flickr, and in that way you can dive into whatever takes your fancy while watching beautiful photographs. I was going in loops - sushi, sashimi, bento, lunch, sushi…

What kind of sushi is this???
It is definately not for me.
I like cakes. Cakes made to look like sushi is even better! This “cake” for instance - is covered in buttercream frosting, it has fondant for the wasabi, chopsticks, platter seaweed and the “fish” sits on top of molded rice crispy treats. The soy sauce is chocolate syrup with a little bit of crushed nuts on top, orange gel frosting for the caviar and the sushi rolls are sliced Twinkies filled with sliced strawberries and kiwis. The outside of the rolls are made of fondant which is then rolled in green sugar confetti for shine. The ginger is colored white chocolate flakes. Fantastic! Great imagination. Here are some more sushi inspired cakes:

I found this video of the dancing sushi chefs on MySpace. Aren’t they cute? 
Well, Barbie is into leading a healthy lifestyle, isn’t she? So of course she needs her own sushi. This box of toy food features a selection of 10 different sets of sushi meals. It includes drinks, soups, and desserts presented with the accompanying crockery and packaging.

We found this great new video from our friends over at Tokyomade.com. You all remember the video that explains “The Japanese tradition of eating sushi“. This is another one in that series - called The Japanese Tradition - using chopsticks. Well. We use chopsticks while eating (some) sushi, right. Sashimi at least. Enjoy!
