DIY Japanese Wooden Sushi Boat

Outside of Japan, kaiten-sushi is sometimes referred to as a “sushi boat” or “sushi train”, as some establishments serve their sushi on small floating boats or miniature train carriages rather than just on a conveyor belt.

A sushi boat is a special plate used in Japanese restaurants to serve your favorite sushi. It is usually made of wood or bamboo well-lacquered to keep the food safe to eat in the dish.
