Are you a fan of sushi, Japanese cuisine? (Sushi is vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients, including fish, various meats, and vegetables.) It’s a good news for you. Shogakukan, major Japanese publishing company is about to launch a virtual sushi guide for the iPhone for iPhone and iPod Touch.

You can grab the app by the end of this month in Apple’s App Store with 5 USD (450 yen/3.50 Euros).

The Sushi Encyclopedia will provide 82 pictures and descriptions of 82 different kinds of sushi as your culinary refference. Not sure whether it also contains sushi restaurant directories.

The first edition will be in Japanese, but the English version to follow.  Yeah, it’s Sushi time!
