The mesmerising trend of ‘Mosaic Sushi’ that tantalises the sight as it does the palate

We all know sushi is an integral part of the Japanese cuisine. When one hears of sushi, we get images of rice, fish rolled into a roll, served on sushi mats, along with chopsticks, but a new trend in this food’s presentation is evolving and taking Instagram by storm – ‘Mosaic Sushi’.

Mosaic Sushi is quintessentially Japanese – not only that there is sushi in play, but also the arrangement is  exquisitely precise, simple and stunning. Much like the Japanese arts. This food art form simply requires us to arrange various sushi elements in horizontal and vertical manner to form a geometrical and colourful pattern that makes it more appealing.

The art itself looks so mesmerising that it is almost immaterial if you like the food or not. One may also resist from eating as the guilt to destroying the art may be more.

Here are some pictures of beautiful ‘Mosaic Sushi’ that will leave you fascinated.
