Sushi Poppers…alright, this might be pushing it (pun obviously intended). People are calling Sushi Poppers a new wave of sushi in America. If you have never heard or seen Sushi Poppers, it is eating sushi out of a tube. Sounds disgusting/impossible right? Well culinary entrepreneurs Lucas Furst and Evan Kaye are on a mission to make it the acceptable, tasty, and healthy way to eat sushi on the go. Each seven-inch long Sushi Popper includes eight pieces of pre-cut sushi and wasabi packaged in an airtight tube. After thawing and later opening the top of the tube, sushi lovers can add soy sauce from a small (chop?) stick affixed to the packaging and then grab their first piece of fish. With their teeth. They reach the next piece by pushing up on the bottom of the tube. Afraid of frozen sushi? Not to worry. By freezing each 7-inch-long tube immediately after packaging, Furst says Sushi Poppers can stay fresh for up to three months after purchase. If you think I am kidding about this whole invention and there is no such thing as Sushi Poppers, check the video after the jump and witness people eating the Sushi Poppers on-the-go.
With raw options including tuna and salmon, cooked varieties with spicy crab, shrimp and California rolls, and even dessert pops with caramel rice pudding and key lime pie, Furst and Kaye are serious about bringing portable sushi to time- and meal-challenged American diners. According to Furst, “People are busy every single day in their lives. They don’t have time to stop for lunch, let alone a healthy meal. So we want to bring healthy, nutritious meals to everyone.” Sushi Poppers will be found in vending machines, live concerts, ski resorts, and other non-familiar sushi territories.
