Sushi Clock
A familiar sight in many Japanese restaurants throughout Japan, these clocks display much more than just the time. They also represent the scrumptious and delectable fare diners will find on the menu inside the restaurant. This sushi clock is the actual size of a lacquer sushi tray, with a flowering plum and gold fan decoration on the side. Each hour is denoted by a different sushi item: 1 - fresh water eel (Unagi), 2 - abalone (Awabi), 3 - shrimp (Ebi), 4 - octopus (Tako), 5 - mackerel (Saba), 6 - salmon roe (Ikura), 7 - conger eel (Anago), 8 - egg (Tamago), 9 - ark shell (Akagai), 10 - squid (Ika), 11 - tuna (Maguro), 12 - cucumber and tuna roll (Kappa Maki and Tekka Maki). So cleverly and realistically crafted, you’ll have visitors first wondering if they’re real, and secondly, asking if there’s a Japanese restaurant nearby! Made in Japan.
Quality Stuff
If you have any Japanese friends.. you will know that they spare no expense to give their kids the best. Everything seems to be personalized for their kids.. and i really envied them. Therefore, when i buy gifts for my Japanese friends.. i make sure that they are personalized gifts and not just something i pick up randomly… for they do take special attention and care to get mine.
