This has been featured around the Innernet recently, so why not here? Personally, my biggest skepticism is that I suspect it actually needs a mix of dark soy sauce and a much lighter sauce that floats on top?
I dunno though, maybe the 'trenches' are so deep that it works with simple soy sauce? Pretty dang clever, either way.

I got this one and a couple others like it in Tokyo.
I like this one better.
Because tuxedo cats are the best!
I’m obligated to point out that torties are in fact better.
Absolutely. They're also the best. So are oranges, who are also the best.
So it really just works with nothing but soy sauce..?
Yes. I'm not sure why this is hard to understand. The deeper areas are darker because they hold more sauce.
Sorry. Didn't realize I had to be a major genius. /s
Deeper areas are darker? Oh yeah, then explain why a flat swimming pool has dark patterns on the bottom! Checkmate, translucency believers. /s
A flat swimming pool wouldn't hold any water, you're thinking of a parking lot
Instructions unclear, parking lot is now full of soy sauce
How can you tell? Did a shrine or cat appear?
Or a shrine to a cat?
Redundant. All shrines are for cats.
Soy sauce would work like an ink. Here's a picture of watercolour inks, each column is one ink, with each row representing how much ink is soaked in.
Can you recommend which is tastiest?
Unburnt kikkoman
Nothing suspicious about it, dark but not fully opaque fluids like soy sauce start out light but get darker as it gets deeper
Like water, I guess?
Looks so clear and 'pure,' but then when you fill the pool up..?
Exactly so, except that soy sauce needs a lot less to show the effect!
GOOD point.
I got these (and the chopstick holders) as a wedding gift from a friend in Japan, we either used kikoman low sodium or the soy sauce that was included with the sushi
Now clean it.
I have 2 of these, one with a cat and the other with a fish. They wash off super easy. It’s just soy sauce.
I just wanted to write that it must be hard to wash.
That is cool as fuck.
Gorgeous as a piece of art, mildly infuriating to be served this in a restaraunt... I want to dip in the sauce and be able to get to it.
I mean... you still can?
Also, this would be some high-end place no doubt, so you could basically ask for and receive whatever type of dish to fulfill your heart's content, I should think.

“Bring me a pitcher of your finest soy sauce my good man”
"Tell you hwat-- bring me a pig on a stick, and fry 'em up good!"
"And bring the lady something for a dollar-and-a-half!"
The Love God.

I think we tend to use too much soy sauce anyway so this might be a sneaky way to make you use less?
If the itamae didn't want me submerging my nigiri in soy sauce, he would have made it more buoyant.
This is so neeeat!!
Wow that's a smart design!
I got this one in Tokyo.
Also, I'd recommend tamari instead. I don't think it's as traditional for sushi, but it's less salty and richer. It seems less likely to overpower the fish rather than complement it.
Ponzu ftw
I never realized until now that those shrine structures look a lot like native north american "Inukshuks".
