This has been featured around the Innernet recently, so why not here? Personally, my biggest skepticism is that I suspect it actually needs a mix of dark soy sauce and a much lighter sauce that floats on top?
I dunno though, maybe the ‘trenches’ are so deep that it works with simple soy sauce? Pretty dang clever, either way.

My personal skepticism is because I am now skeptical that any image that seems too good to be true is AI generated. And the sauce lines look almost artificially clean and complex with the shrine.
Like the shrine’s reflection off of the lake, getting progressively lighter towards the bottom of the plate too? Impressive.
My personal response is because I’m responding that I responded a response.
