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.

Now clean it.
I got this one and a couple others like it in Tokyo.
I like this one better.
Because tuxedo cats are the best!
So it really just works with nothing but soy sauce..?
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.
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
My personal skepticism is because I am now skeptical that any image that seems too good to be true is AI generated. And the sauce lines look almost artificially clean and complex with the shrine.
Like the shrine's reflection off of the lake, getting progressively lighter towards the bottom of the plate too? Impressive.
My personal response is because I'm responding that I responded a response.
I’m not sure why this is hard to understand. The deeper areas are darker because they hold more sauce.
Sorry, didn't realise that it called for a major genius to get involved.

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.
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.

"And bring the lady something for a dollar-and-a-half!"

Thanks! Self-killer to be precise. It's an interesting read leading up to that work: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-final-shocking-self-portrait-of-richard-gerstl

For sure, I just hate the waste. You can never get to the dip inside the grooves and if you're in a nice place you're not pouring out of it onto your dish... I mean you can but etiquette and all lol
I bet with an absorbent food like rice balls you could pick up most of the sauce.

GAIJIN-SMASH! :D
Hell yeah I can get behind this!! 😂
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.
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.
I got this one in Tokyo.
Interesting.
