{"product_id":"sushi-pillow","title":"Sushi Pillow","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSushi Pillow Shaped Like a Giant Salmon Nigiri\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNigiri is sushi reduced to two things: a small block of seasoned rice and one slice of fish laid over it. It was born as street food in Edo, the city that became Tokyo, in the early nineteenth century, pressed by hand and eaten standing at a stall. Salmon joined the counter much later. Raw salmon was not a traditional topping in Japan at all until the 1980s, when it arrived from the North Atlantic and became, within a generation, the most ordered piece on conveyor belts around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sushi pillow is that piece, enlarged to the size of a cushion. The top is a thick slice of orange salmon crossed by pale diagonal lines of fat, the marbling that tells a sushi lover the cut is rich. It drapes over a rounded base of white rice where each grain is drawn, so the pillow reads as food from across the room and still holds up when you look closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt measures about 16 in long, 40 cm, and is cut to the outline of the nigiri rather than to a square. The design is printed on both faces of a micro plush fabric that feels closer to a soft toy than to a sofa cushion, and a polyester fiber filling keeps it full without making it stiff. It is soft enough to hug and firm enough to lean on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a sofa, this sushi pillow is the cushion guests pick up first. It also earns its place on a bed, a gaming chair, a dorm room or the bench of a sushi restaurant, and it lines up naturally with the other pieces of the set: shrimp, tamago, a maki roll and an onigiri. For anyone who orders salmon first every time, it is an easy gift to get right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: about 16 in (40 cm) at the longest side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric: micro plush polyester, printed front and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilling: polyester fiber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: salmon nigiri\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover not removable, spot clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"JAPAN CLOTHING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54647427203419,"sku":"14:29","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/9300\/2473\/files\/sushi-pillow_1.jpg?v=1793905256","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/sushi-pillow","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
