How to make Sushi fabric

They use sushi fabric that was developed over three years with a long-established textile manufacturer, Tanabe Textile. They applied a technique called blistering weave to give a texture to the fabric, and reproduced the texture of Gin Shari with rice grains standing on it. By weaving a glitter thread that reflects light into some of the material, it expresses the luster of the greasy body and fish skin.

It’s a sushi purse with an eye-catching design that makes you think “Eh? Sushi?” when you take it out of the bag. You can use it as a clutch bag.

Don’t forget Wasabi

Of course, they are particular about sushi rice and ingredients, but it is wasabi that enhances the taste of sushi. A yellow-green hook-and-loop fastener with the image of wasabi is attached to assist in opening and closing.

Perfect size for small items

With the size of approximately 18 cm x 12 cm (4 cm as a gusset), small items such as makeup supplies and charging cables can fit it easily.

The action of opening and closing the sushi purse is just like making sushi. Every time you use it, you can feel like a sushi chef.

New color

As a new color, they added a “special toro” pattern. By weaving clear glitter threads, the fabric shines brilliantly with the reflection of light, giving it a texture reminiscent of a greasy body.
