A Tasteful Birthday Party
Sometimes it’s a challenge to come up with interesting birthday party ideas for discriminating friends. A sushi party is both fun and educational and a great way to celebrate another year.
To get your wheels turning:
- Hire a sushi chef or “Itamae” for the night to show you the ropes. If that’s not possible have a collection of sushi basic books on hand.
- Have a work station set-up for each guest or couple. You’ll need bamboo sushi mats, bamboo rice paddles, and chop sticks for eating. Roll these together and tie with a beautiful red ribbon at the end of the party for a lovely birthday party favor.
- Invest in a rice cooker to ensure the rice is sushi-ready.
- After preparing the food, offer each guest a hot, wet towel or “oshibori.”
- Instead of eating in the dining room, throw pillows on the floor and dine around the coffee table. You can create a stunning table with sushi and sake sets accented by Japanese lanterns and rocks displayed in balanced formations.
- MyPunchbowl has an adorable sushi online invitation that is perfect for this theme.
A sushi party is a sophisticated and fun way to celebrate a birthday. You and your guests might become sushi fanatics and learn a new craft that will bring you pleasure for years to come. Isn’t that the best kind of birthday after all?
Enjoy Planning.
