Ridiculously Large Rolls

Giant Sushi is Taking Over in Japan Among Diehard Fish Fans

— August 27, 2011 — Lifestyle
I will be the first to admit that I can eat a lot of sushi -- and often, too -- but the giant sushi craze in Japan may be a bit much, even for me. A recently opened restaurant in the Aichi prefecture of Japan has developed a menu of outrageously sized sushi rolls and nigiri. Just to make things a bit more confusing for its customers, it also serves some insanely tiny rolls along with the giant sushi.

The mega sushi roll has 20 different types of fish and vegetables wrapped inside 2 meters of rice and seaweed. That's right, 2 meters.

To give you some perspective about just how big the giant sushi is, one slab of tuna that is placed on top of the large rolls would regularly be enough to make 40 average-sized rolls. Be warned, though: giant sushi costs about 15,000 yen and requires a reservation two days in advance. Totally worth it, if you ask me.
Trend Themes
1. Giant Sushi - Creating giant-sized sushi rolls and nigiri for an immersive and visually stunning dining experience.
2. Outrageous Menu - Inventing outrageous menu items with a combination of insanely tiny rolls and ridiculously large sushi rolls.
3. Premium Sushi Experience - Offering premium sushi rolls with an extensive variety of fish and vegetables wrapped inside 2 meters of rice and seaweed.
Industry Implications
1. Restaurant Industry - Introducing giant sushi rolls as a unique and attention-grabbing dining concept to attract customers.
2. Tourism Industry - Creating a buzz as a tourist attraction by offering giant sushi rolls that are worth the experience and require advance reservations.
3. Food Packaging Industry - Designing specialized packaging solutions to accommodate and transport the enormous size of giant sushi rolls.
