Japan's latest gourmet gimmick: one-grain sushi

From the land that gave the world such tiny treats as bonsai, midget submarines and shiploads of quaint consumer goods comes, according to Shukan Bunshun (10/19), the latest example of Japanese miniaturization -- single grain sushi!

The delicate little morsel is authentic sushi, but instead of a slather of raw fish slapped on top of a handful of rice, there's only a single, tiny grain of the Japanese staple used.

That leaves only enough room for the fish to no bigger than about 1 centimeter-by-2 centimeters at most."
