nigiri sushi molding machine“Sushi Tongs”
Stage 1
The development goal here was to be able to make nigiri sushi without touching the rice, motivated by the desire to eat delicious authentic nigiri sushi at home. Four years after first conceiving the ideas, we have completed the creation of “Sushi Tongs” which allow you to include a moderate amount of air to make the ideal nigiri sushi.
Repeated Trial Process (6 trials)
Because we were not satisfied with the texture of the rice produced with early models due to over-compaction, we reexamined the design in order to reach the desired shape and texture. It took 6 trials to get things just right.
Our Goal: Touch of a True Craftsman
In the end, we used a structure that presses vertically to imitate the way that plump sushi rice contains air when shaped by a sushi chef’s hands.
This design avoids crushing the air out of the rice when it is shaped by hand, giving it a texture much closer to that of a true craftsman.
