This has been featured around the Innernet recently, so why not here? Personally, my biggest skepticism is that I suspect it actually needs a mix of dark soy sauce and a much lighter sauce that floats on top?
I dunno though, maybe the ‘trenches’ are so deep that it works with simple soy sauce? Pretty dang clever, either way.

I got this one and a couple others like it in Tokyo.
I like this one better.
Because tuxedo cats are the best!
I’m obligated to point out that torties are in fact better.
Absolutely. They’re also the best. So are oranges, who are also the best.
Here to represent the Black Cats Best Cats gang.
Black cats also the best.
So it really just works with nothing but soy sauce…?
Soy sauce would work like an ink. Here’s a picture of watercolour inks, each column is one ink, with each row representing how much ink is soaked in.
Yes. I’m not sure why this is hard to understand. The deeper areas are darker because they hold more sauce.
It would work with piss too
Deeper areas are darker? Oh yeah, then explain why a flat swimming pool has dark patterns on the bottom! Checkmate, translucency believers. /s
A flat swimming pool wouldn’t hold any water, you’re thinking of a parking lot
Instructions unclear, parking lot is now full of soy sauce
How can you tell? Did a shrine or cat appear?
Or a shrine to a cat?
I’m not sure why this is hard to understand. The deeper areas are darker because they hold more sauce.
Sorry, didn’t realise that it called for a major genius to get involved.

… Are… Are you okay, Johnny?
I had a couple last night, lol.
My point being that visually, the trenches didn’t seem quite deep enough to create that effect. Which might be perfectly wrong, of course. But I also found such debate a bit tiresome at that point in time, in which “tieewarbgjkas ukhasdf sadfjk jksafsdf” seemed like the way to proceed. 🙃
🤣 I get it. I can’t say I disagree with the approach. I just wanted to make sure we didn’t need to send a mobile stroke unit or something.
My personal skepticism is because I am now skeptical that any image that seems too good to be true is AI generated. And the sauce lines look almost artificially clean and complex with the shrine.
Like the shrine’s reflection off of the lake, getting progressively lighter towards the bottom of the plate too? Impressive.
My personal response is because I’m responding that I responded a response.
Ooh, clever!
Nothing suspicious about it, dark but not fully opaque fluids like soy sauce start out light but get darker as it gets deeper
Like water, I guess?
Looks so clear and ‘pure,’ but then when you fill the pool up…?
Nothing suspicious about it
Bullshit.
Sauce?
Not soy.
That’s the funny part about all the “soy” replies to me. There’s so many sauces this could work with, so in what universe would the Soy part be something I’m confused about? The gate and flowers in the comment I replied to are obviously NOT soy.
It didn’t get enough love. What a fun combat system and creepy atmosphere.
Soy
I think the right question to ask is, Plate?
Soy. Weren’t you paying attention?
I’m afraid I need to know where to purchase these in the UK. It’s a matter of vital cational security, erm I mean national security obviously.
This might help get the search kicked off, anyway:

Gorgeous as a piece of art, mildly infuriating to be served this in a restaraunt… I want to dip in the sauce and be able to get to it.
