Valentine’s Day sushi

Here’s a gift idea that is sure to make this Valentine’s Data a really unforgettable one for you and that special some one in your life.

Chocolate sushi!

Unlike Twinkie sushi, which is merely a reasonable facsimile of a sushi roll, Suedy’s Koo-ki Sushi is so realistic, it’s hard to tell the difference from the real thing. Each piece is carefully sculptured out of chocolate to look exactly like a slab of tuna, octopus, or egg resting on a lump of rice.

And the realism does not stop there.

Suedy’s Koo-ki Sushi is available in a choice of different reusable boxes that are exact replicas of the type of containers that real sushi comes in. You can choose from among the Golden Oke, Kotobuki Box, or Suedy’s Obento.

Koo-ki Sushi got its start back in 1994 when Karen “Suedy” Sasaki started wondering about you can do with confections that has never been done before. Then one day she hit upon the idea of sculpting pieces of sushi from chocolate. After that, Karen and her sister, Janice Murai (neither of whom had any experience in the food business) developed new processes and designed the products that became Koo-ki Sushi.
