One of the sushi you would definitely not choose first, in an open-air counter selling assorted sushi. Because there are just too many slimy orange, bright reds and greens to pick up in your basket, who would waste a chance at this odd looking thing?
Sakura Denbu (SGD 0.70 ea)
If you go and notice it, it is actually called sakura denbu, and is really pink in colour! Denbu is not a new kind of fish or prawn roe, but rather fish flakes or fish powder, coloured by the cherry blossoms for this case. Taking it out from the chilled section, it is a bed of hard, sweet sushi rice, layered with a blanket of sweet marinated powder; crunchy like powdered candy. A marinate rather similiar to the tasty, chilled jellyfish found on gunkan sushi.
P.S. That neon pink cast, the sakura gives the denbu a nice pink colour, originally a pale white or brown, to enliven sushi or rice dishes. The same idea as the bright red colouring found in chinese bbq pork meat, to enhance its appearance, and making it more appetizing to look at.
