This toy is great - it is well made and lots of fun. I bought it with a chinese wok food toy as I wanted toys to encourage children to learn about different people and cultures. This toy does that in a fun way.

I love this good-sized sushi play set from the Melissa and Doug brand. It is, for my money, the best quality sushi play set I have come across. The presentation packaging is also a great-quality wooden storage box with handy and totally authentic-seeming compartments for the play pieces to go in. If ONLY the makers included a lid! Unfortunately, once the shrink-wrap is gone you're left with nothing to keep pieces safely stored once tidy-up time comes around. But this is a small niggle.
The Amazon product description seems to have slightly misinterpreted the manufacturer's blurb announcing that the product contains three types of pretend sushi (resulting in a description that confusingly includes rather more!). You DO get three types of brightly-coloured wooden sushi: pretend nigiri, maki, and California rolls. The nigiri have different toppings on them (prawn, tuna, omelette), and on the tuna and omelette variants there is a pretend strip of nori seaweed in the form of a piece of ribbon. The maki are filled with either 'red pepper' or 'cucumber' and wrapped in 'nori' and both they and the California rolls velcro together for chopping with the supplied 'cleaver'. You can add wasabi or pickled ginger to your sushi and use the padded-grip chopsticks to eat the food after making use of the included bowl of dipping soy. All very authentic-seeming.
However, although the range of pieces and build quality of these are second-to-none, this isn't the most realistic-looking sushi set available. With its blocky wooden build (both maki and California rolls are cuboid, instead of cylindrical) and brightly stark colours, this lacks the verisimilitude of plastic sets BUT is better presented, better made, and easier for young children to use as rounded plastic pieces are slippery and very difficult indeed for youngsters to pick up using (plastic, splinter-free, Health and Safety-satisfying) chopsticks. Highly recommended for use with children in pre-school/infant age groups, but will make most sense if real sushi is demonstrated too.

A great toy for a 3 year-old. The chopsticks have velcro at the top so the youngster can start learning how to hold and use chopsticks. All the bits are well made and fun to piece together and "chop" up. The only thing I'd say is that some of the colours don't quite match what you see in the photo, but that doesn't diminish the fun to be had from this item. I only wish it was a REAL bento box with REAL sushi in it!
