Yes, sushi is popular in Japan. Perhaps not as popular as people outside Japan think but it is a favorite of all ages, including young children: visit any big conveyor-belt sushi restaurant in Japan and you'll see it filled with families with small kids trying to catch the moving sushi. The Sushi Boon Pull-Back Cars have been created with these young diners very much in mind but they also make an amazing gift for any admirer of Japanese cuisine, food replicas, and curios in general!
The Sushi Boon Pull Back Cars are nine 6 x 3 x 3.2 cm (2.4 x 1.2 x 1.3") pieces of sushi mounted on a miniature vehicle. The sushi part has been painstakingly reproduced by the same artisans that make the food replicas restaurants use in Japan for their storefronts, so you will be surprised at how lifelike they are. They come in three sets of three and include most sushi favorites, from chutoro medium fatty tuna nigiri to salmon nigiri, omelet nigiri, and ikura salmon roe gunkan. If you are a true sushi fan, you'll probably go for the full option and get all nine!
