How this hands-free sushi actually works

The magic lies in the packaging.

Each sushi tube arrives with a slim container filled with soy sauce attached to the side. Diners remove this mini tube, pour the soy sauce directly over the sushi inside the cylinder, and then reuse the same tube as a plunger.

Once you press from the bottom, neatly sliced sushi pieces slide up from the top for easy bites. No chopsticks, no balancing acts, and definitely no dropped sushi.
