Interesting ceramic dish, in which "Itsukushima" Shinto Shrine art appears, when filled with soy sauce.

I never realized until now that those shrine structures look a lot like native north american "Inukshuks".

Or a shrine to a cat?

Redundant. All shrines are for cats.

Gorgeous as a piece of art, mildly infuriating to be served this in a restaraunt... I want to dip in the sauce and be able to get to it.

Idk this helps prevent people from overdoing the amount of soy sauce. I can just dip the sushi on there and know it won't be too much

... Are... Are you okay, Johnny?

I had a couple last night, lol.

My point being that visually, the trenches didn't seem quite deep enough to create that effect. Which might be perfectly wrong, of course. But I also found such debate a bit tiresome at that point in time, in which "tieewarbgjkas ukhasdf sadfjk jksafsdf" seemed like the way to proceed. 🙃

I got these (and the chopstick holders) as a wedding gift from a friend in Japan, we either used kikoman low sodium or the soy sauce that was included with the sushi

The top one is boss. Makes me wish there were Nazca-line versions, which culturally makes no sense(!)

That origami crane holder is also pretty cool...

Soy sauce would work like an ink. Here's a picture of watercolour inks, each column is one ink, with each row representing how much ink is soaked in.

Yeap, as someone who's done his share of watercolor art, I do grasp the concept. Any doubts I had were related to a level of skepticism about the depths of the trenches.

🤣 I get it. I can't say I disagree with the approach. I just wanted to make sure we didn't need to send a mobile stroke unit or something.

That or cardiovascular event of choice is indeed likely how I'll go. (super-high genetic cholesterol / triglycerides)

I guess it was fun for a moment to fake-act it out. Sometimes black humor is what gets one through certain moments of life...

Yes. I'm not sure why this is hard to understand. The deeper areas are darker because they hold more sauce.

It would work with piss too

Agreed. I am the guy making inappropriate jokes in the receiving line of someone's wake. Laugh or cry, baby... When those are the options, I'll always choose to laugh.

It didn't get enough love. What a fun combat system and creepy atmosphere.

I'm afraid I need to know where to purchase these in the UK. It's a matter of vital cational security, erm I mean national security obviously.

Not soy.

That's the funny part about all the "soy" replies to me. There's so many sauces this could work with, so in what universe would the Soy part be something I'm confused about? The gate and flowers in the comment I replied to are obviously NOT soy.
