"Winter is here." When you wake up in the morning there's a huge amount of snow on your car... What do you call this? "It's like a super extra XXX"
Winter is in full swing in Kutchan. There was no snow until four days ago. An acquaintance of mine calls cars in this condition "high roof," but I call them "sushi."
Quoted from @niseko_news' post
The person who posted this photo is Mr. Kato from Kutchan Town in central Hokkaido, which is one of the snowiest places in the country. It looks like it would be a pain to dig out a car buried under a thick layer of snow... The poster calls this "sushi" and has received comments such as "I call it that too," "Great silver rice...," "It's squid nigiri," and "That's a good way to call it."
A week ago: "This is just the beginning."
In the comments section, people also called it various names, such as "I like it topped with fresh cream," "Yukimi Daifuku," and "Big Tofu." With heavy snowfall predicted for this season, it looks like Hokkaido residents will be battling with these "sushi" and "fresh cream" tofu.
