Hey, It’s Sushi O’Clock!
Best. Purchase. Ever. How many ways do I love Kappabashi, the street where Tokyo restaurants go to shop?
If you’d like to visit Kappabashi Street the next time you’re in Tokyo – where you can make your own plastic food, buy half-price dinosaur heads and nyan-tastic cat teapots – directions & maps are on my website, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I’d Had.

Every time I look at this clock, I wish I had a piece of sushi being gently noodged toward my waiting lips! I actually saw a clock that used chopsticks as the clock hands, but it was from a store with lesser-quality plastic food, so I went for the mouth-watering fakes instead. Sometimes I wish it looked less real!

Well, they’re sort of shockingly Not Cheap. This one (if I remember right) was upwards of $120US. Which isn’t surprising when you know that each sushi piece is handmade and the indivudual magnet versions costs $12-$15US each.
