"Mosaic Sushi" turns lunch to edible art

"Mosaic Sushi" turns lunch to edible art Featured

In Japan, a creative new food trend is transforming an everyday dish into an aesthetically alluring delicacy: mosaic sushi.

Instagram foodies are arranging their colorful blocks of rice, fish, and vegetables like juxtaposed tiles, compiling geometric patterns that highlight the diverse variety within each meal.

Orange stripes of salmon pair perfectly against pale pink tuna; thin strips of cucumber balance out a plate with cubes of cool green; and tiny garnishes like roe and edible flower petals create the perfect embellishments, rendering the bite-size squares with the gorgeous detailing of fine ceramics.

And, here's a video from Tastemade Japan, showing how to create your own sushi mosaic at home.
