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.

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.
Just tip it up like the milk in your cereal bowl.
GAIJIN-SMASH! :D
Hell yeah I can get behind this!! 😂
