Japanese Artisan Makes Clay Sushi Out of Mario Symbolism

Danica Davidson February 22, 2021

A Japanese YouTuber who goes by NendoZaiker-SNAIL has created sushi inspired by the Super Mario franchise. But these pieces of sushi aren’t for eating — they’re actually made out of clay! They look good enough to be real, and NendoZaiker-SNAIL uploaded a video showing step-by-step how the clay sushi was made.

If this were real sushi and not clay, would you order this at a restaurant?
