Caturday Mews: Soy Sauce Cats!

Time for some fun Caturday Mews! This one comes all the way from Japan and is purrrrfect for this week: cat-shaped soy sauce art!

I may be biased because of my love for cats, but I agree with the author of the article below: these are way better than latte art. I think I’m going to add these plates to my Chrismakkuh wishlist.

Enjoy the “paw”some edible art below!

In Japan, Twitter user @mikatakumaki’s post of her soy sauce cat art is going viral.

Honestly better than latte art, IMO.

The secret: these special ceramic dishes, produced by a Japanese manufacturer called Artha.

Artha produces a huge range of cat-inspired home goods, and they sell their products for international wholesale here.

If you’re in Japan, you can also pick up a set from the cat-themed Art Shop Nekomachi in Kamakura.

God I want to go to there.

But you can also order them from this German-based online shop, Wafuu-Honpo.

Each dish costs 8,60 euros, or about $10 (not including international shipping).

And I mean, if you’re really going to commit to this cat kitchenware thing, there’s a whole world out there.
