To-go Sushi

Abstract: Nico finds to-go sushi and is intrigued by the concept.  He carefully analyzes the novel item from several standpoints and concludes that it is much like Go-gurt (Exhibit C), but unlike Go-gurt, to-go sushi is delicious.

I. Introduction 
I passed by a sushi place in London that advertised to-go sushi.  Right??  Of course I had to buy it.

II. Method
Let's dissect.

 Exhibit A

Small. Not more than 3-4 inches tall, 1 inch wide.  Where does the soy sauce go?  Do you have to cut it up yourself?  That seems inconvenient. Surely that can't be right. Is there wasabi action involved?  Hm...let's unwrap it.

Exhibit B
 
Preliminary findings: no divisions in the roll, indicating that it might be made to hold while on the run, much like a Go-gurt:

Exhibit C

III. Analysis
Also, one will notice in Exhibit B that there is a very convenient bottle of soy sauce involved.   My post-consumption analysis reveals several things: 
  • The Go-gurt sushi was not at all lacking in flavor
  • The included bottle of soy sauce seen in Exhibit B was excellently engineered to pour only a few drops at the time, allowing the to-go sushi consumer to control his (or her) soy sauce drop rate, even while on the Tube
  • The lack of sushi-like structure did not detract from the overall gastronomical experience. 
IV. Conclusions
Evaluations: overwhelmingly positive.  While further study is needed on the price-to-size ratio, Go-gurt sushi has passed the preliminary taste-testings.
