Usually in restaurant plates there are two or four cells, less often there are dishes with six to ten sections. Their location on the plane of the dish also varies and depends on its purpose. If in the middle of the plate a large round cell is highlighted, and around a few small ones, then this is an oriental scaffold. What it is, regulars know restaurants serving sushi.
