How to Build Negitoro Sushi With Legos - Stop Motion Prop

Today we are going to be going over a tutorial for a Japanese favorite, which is the Negitoro sushi. It can be found at any sushi restaurant or kaiten sushi in Japan, and is popular amongst kids. Using a simple combination of pink and black Legos with one or two light green plates, we will be showing you how to build this at home.

Made up of leftover tuna that can't be used for sashimi, the fatty portion of the bone with green onion is certainly delicious.

Nori which means dry seaweed in Japanese is the origin point that we are going to be starting with this project.

Using black bricks create the first layer.

The piece should look like this as the first layer

Repeat step 1

Place the 2nd layer on top of the first layer of black bricks

Repeat step 1 again

Stack the layers on top, creating a three layer of black bricks to serve as the nori

Create a layer of bright pink bricks to serve as the tuna on top of the seaweed base that we had created.

Add a layer texturing for the sashimi slices on top of the nori/seaweed with a layer of bright pink plates.

Using 1 x 1 and 1 x 2 light green plates, add texturing to your sushi and it is complete!
