Okay, office supplies aren’t usually known for having mouth-watering properties. Yet these sushi-themed memo pads—brought to you by the creative minds at Tokyo’s Mr. Design Inc.—are realistic enough to whet the appetites of kawaii stationery freaks and foodies alike. Each pack offers four delicious options: tamago, maguro, salmon and toro. Line them up on your desk to jog your memory about upcoming events, or simply use them to fuel your torrid sushi-lunch fantasies. It seems like this should go without saying, but since other websites offer a word of warning, we will as well: good enough to eat, not actually edible.

¥1,890. Available at Aoyama Book Center: 2BF Cosmos Aoyama Garden Floor, 5-53-67 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku. Open daily 10am-10pm. www.aoyamabc.co.jp
