Japan’s Umewaka restaurant specializes in ginormous, over the top sushi rolls. While it is customary to finish one’s plate in full in the region, these dishes weigh in at approximately six kilograms, making them difficult to consume for even six people.
Among Umewaka’s most commonly requested delicacies are the sushi-roll behemouth and the anago sushi course. The former is an eclectic assembly of raw fish and rice, bound tightly in strips of seaweed. The latter is a super sized menu item featuring slabs of grilled eel.
Those who choose to dine at this oversize establishment will have to visit the eatery in droves as the meals cannot be devoured by one or two people. The prices, ranging from $33 U.S. to $190 U.S., will depend on the dimensions and quality of the ingredients.
