Ito-Yokado, a supermarket chain in Japan, is releasing a large, luxury sushi roll as part of its Setsubun celebration, which will take place on Feb. 3.

The sushi roll, called Goka Kenran (“Opulent Luxury”), is an ehomaki roll that is typically consumed during Setsubun, a celebration that welcomes the beginning of spring in the Japanese lunar calendar.

Like sushi inception, there are several sushi rolls stuffed within one larger sushi roll. Altogether, the 18 by 9-centimeter (7 by 3.5-inch) roll contains 25 ingredients, according to PR Times via SoraNews24.

Ingredients inside the massive sushi include:

Minced tuna and young yellowtail
Octopus, sea bream, sweet shrimp, sea urchin
Salmon belly, squid, shrimp
Sardines, spicy cod roe, flounder, surf clam
Crab, mussels, perch

Ito-Yokado also added cucumber and shiso (Japanese basil) into the mix.

The full-size Goka Kenran costs at 5,378 yen ($49.62) and the half size is 2,700 yen ($24.91). Unfortunately, the pre-order period for the massive sushi roll has already ended, based on the notice posted on the order page.
