Hi-hi. I could not help myself. I found this very funny. The car emblem is 4-1/2″ long, black plastic with a raised chrome finish. It of course comes with an adhesive pad on back. Anyway. You can buy it for $9.95 at “Ring of Fire”. 
Another way of making sushi without having to really make sushi… Sushi@Home is said to help you make sushi either using their “nigiri rice press” to make the perfect nigiri rice block, or with the “Maki Rice Roller” to create the maki of your dreams…

The size of a nigiri sushi piece differs from restaurant to restaurant. The best fit between a piece and a persons actual size of mouth comes when you sit at the counter and the chef actually pays attention to the guest being served. In an article I read in the Nikkei Weekly some of weeks ago, the sushi chef Yosuke Imada of Kuybey in Tokyo could tell us that about “250 grains of rice is just the right size for a person to eat a piece of sushi in one go and to be able to fully relish the taste”.

Fitsugar has looked into how much calories there really are in sushi. Hm. Sceptical.
But I know sushi is not so healthy that I like to believe, or more correctly some of my favorites sushi pieces are not that healthy… Many rolls and dishes are quite high in calories and saturated fat, and for instance one shrimp tempura roll (fried shrimp) can have up to of 508 calories… Good thing I am not on a diet. I love those things…
But if you are concerned with calorie count - there are some things to think of when ordering your sushi.

Sushi on acid. As good as it gets!
Well, actually. That was all Sondre told us. So since this review was a bit short I have interpreted his grades and added some information and images from their website:

We found these cute drawings of a sushi eating vampire cat on a website called “The Argyle Academy”. It is the name of the school where Lionel, the Vampire cat and his friends (an octopus named Matthew, a little birdie name Alexander, and others) attend. A few years back The Argyle Academy decided they needed a web page that talked all about the school, and they asked Lionel to build one for them. He ended up making the site pretty much about him, and argyleacademy.com turned into his journal. The school staff is too nice to say anything to him about it.
