Siercon & Coral's [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-hokusai-the-great-wave) sushi is so distinctly detailed that it's easy to mistake it for a real piece of delicious sushi.

From life-sized robots to wedding dresses, people have managed to create an extensive array of constructs from LEGO. The LEGO sushi is a product of innovation and creativity, which showcases the possibilities that can come from these tiny block pieces. The giant brick-made sushi was made for the 'Iron Builder,' a competition that pits LEGO builders with another à la ‘Top Chef.’

The LEGO sushi is made from various [LEGO bricks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-6) from the company's 'Bionicle Tridax Pod Half' line. The LEGO brick piece construct will definitely appeal to any sushi lover and LEGO enthusiast.
