If you are tired of the typical celebrations and want to organize a different party for a farewell, birthday or anniversary, we recommend that you organize a Sushi Party.
Until recently, ordering Japanese food catering, booking live sushi shows or opting for show cooking seemed like alternatives reserved for large-scale events, but the growing popularity of Japanese cuisine has caused more and more intimate celebrations to revolve around the sushi and Japanese cuisine Restaurant.
Today, we can all give an original, exotic and elegant touch to any small event by setting up a Sushi Party. In this entry we give you the basic recommendations so that you can organize it, taking care of every last detail:
1) Customized invitations : to invite your friends or family to the party, it is best to skip email and choose to hand-deliver scrolls rolled and tied with a red bow. Inside, in addition to including the date, time and place of the event, you can draw Japanese motifs or glue the chopsticks that the guests will use to taste the sushi during the party.
2) Oriental attire : One way to liven up the event is to encourage guests to come dressed in oriental attire. In Japan there is a custom of taking off shoes inside the house, so one way to imitate this tradition is for guests to remain barefoot throughout the party.
3) “Japanese” decoration : the decorative elements that will give your house an oriental touch are screens, paper lanterns, fans, floating candles and bonsai trees. As for colors, use red, black, white and gold on tablecloths and napkins to achieve a 100% Japanese atmosphere. It is also recommended that you aromatize the space with incense and opt for oriental symbols for decoration, such as geishas, ??dragons or Japanese letters.
4) Sushi, the star of the party : as it could not be otherwise in a Japanese-themed party, the menu must be made up of Japanese culinary specialties such as maki, futomaki, sashimi, nigiri, temaki, accompanied by rice, soy sauce, wasabi and ginger. Set up a low coffee table and place cushions on the floor for diners to sit on. On the table, distribute placemats and chopsticks. To drink during the meal, opt for sake and, after dessert, serve tea in small bowls.
5) Gift your guests : decorate your home with ornamental elements that your guests can take as souvenirs. Surprise your friends and family with dedicated fans, poems written on the tablecloths or fortune cookies with predictions.
