Edible Bowls and Chopsticks from Hardtack

Designer Nobuhiko Arikawa has created a line of edible tableware for the Orto Cafe in Japan, baked from traditional sailor's hardtack—a simple dough of flour, water, and salt. The bowls and chopsticks are shelf-stable for several months as long as they are kept dry.

This was, no doubt, created for the Sumo Wrestlers that come to the Cafe - who often find normal plates and utensils appetizing after slamming down hundreds of Sushi Rolls in the same sitting.

Minimizes risk. Smart.
