Black Belt Sushi Boat 19.7in

The sushi boat is a plate shaped like a boat on which sushi or sashimi is served. In Japan, it is often served at Izakaya-style restaurants.

The 19.7in size is just right for sushi for two people, and about four servings of sashimi.

It is said that this dish was first made in the latter half of the Edo period (1603-1867) to entertain the lord of the Fukui domain. Even today, it is served as a special dish because of its gorgeous appearance.

This item is eye-catching just by placing it on the table. It will make a thoughtful table setting that will be appreciated by family and guests.
