Now all the time can be sushi time thanks to the creative genius of Noriko Kuwabara.

Noriko started making sushi clocks back in 1993. At first she thought that a sushi clock would be as easy as buying artificial pieces of sushi and gluing them onto a tray, but she soon found out that it would not be that easy. She ended up making each individual piece by hand to suit her own specifications and. . .

Voilà! The sushi clock was born.

Since then, Noriko’s menu of clocks has grown to include regular and deluxe sushi tray themes, as well as a dim-sum clock, a manju (Japanese bean filled bun) clock, and even a donut clock.

She says she has ideas for more, but filling orders for her current models keeps her too busy to build them.

Each one of Noriko’s creations is crafted with hour markers that she painstakingly sculpts and paints by hand. Timekeeping is powered by Seiko movements that run on a single AA-size battery.
