By Rayner Chandler

Throwing a theme party can be fun. But what if you are tasked or your friends love to have something deliciously new at your party? One of the most popular themes in Boston is a sushi party. And since almost everyone we know in Boston loves sushi, this wonderful city has now more sushi chefs than any area we know. So if you are looking forward to throw a sushi themed party, this guide is for you.

Why It’s Great to Throw Sushi Party in Boston

Most people know how fun it is to throw a party at home, and preparing something new for your friends and family sure is something that you and your guests will truly enjoy. A sushi party requires minimal preparation, something that is super casual, downright laidback, and perfect for those Friday nights after-work party. Though it represents one of the deeply cherished traditions in Japan, anyone who has the patience to slice veggies and boil rice can kick a super fun sushi party in Boston anytime.

Aside from great food, what Boston partygoers really love about sushi restaurants and party is that vibe. Try going to one of these sushi restaurants and you know what we mean; people sit in the same table, share the same sushi train, and pass the sake around, to someone they have just met in the place. If this is the vibe that you want to recreate for your, say, boyfriend’s friend-meet-my-friends party, then a great night of sushi and sake is definitely for you.

Calling the Pros for Some Help

Living in Boston means living in a fish-eat-fish world; and, chances are, you, just like every one else, don’t have the time to do the preparation. If you have the budget, hiring sushi Boston catering company can help you prepare a fabulous party. Gone are the days when the only people who can afford a sushi Boston catering company are the superstars. Today you can find budget-friendly and super affordable packages that can cater your needs for the whole night.

If you have the best sushi party in all Boston, calling for a staff of three to four to do the cooking and decoration is really all you need to do. If you’re on a budget but still want to go Japanese when it comes to food and drinks, asking for a sushi chef to come over your house is, of course, a fantastic yet affordable idea. What’s even better is that these sushi chefs simply do not do their business in the kitchen; to make it more fun, most sushi chefs will demo in front of your guests. Imagine how fun it is to have a sushi making demo and party in one?

How to Throw an Extravagant Sushi Party on a Budget, Part 1
By V Udasco

We all know that in this economy, cash is hard to come by, especially during the holiday season. However, you can throw a great sushi-themed party no matter the occasion, and it’s more affordable than you think!

Why not host a sushi themed holiday dinner?! Trade that dry turkey and stuffing in for some great tasting and healthy sushi, and start a tradition of your own! For any occasion, sushi is a yummy and popular way to go…you can just throw a “We Love Sushi” party, too!

You will really impress your guests with your exotic menu and they will appreciate your unique theme. You can host a Sushi Party that your relatives and guests will be wowed by. Just don’t blame me when they beg you to throw a Sushi Party over and over again!

Hosting a party at home can be a very stressful and daunting task, especially if are cooking a full course meal for your guests. When planning any get together, you must do the leg work regardless of what is being prepared. However, these tips can eliminate your stress, while keeping more of your hard earned money in your bank account.

Planning Phase (can be done on the internet, from the comfort of your own home)

• Determine your budget. Having a limited budget, you need to get the most bang for your buck. This means you will have to find great deals and do a lot of the leg work yourself.

• Send out RSVP’s to determine how many people will attend. By knowing who will be attending, you will have a better idea if you should cater towards vegetarian sushi recipes, fish recipes or both. If the majority of people attending don’t feel comfortable with raw fish, you can prepare “cooked” sushi recipes (i.e. tempura roll, Philadelphia roll with smoked salmon, cooked shrimp nigiri, California roll, and etc.) and not as much sashimi or spicy raw tuna roll. You get the idea and besides, if you stay away from the sushi grade ingredients needed for sashimi, you will save money there, as well.

• Depending on your guests, if they are close friends or family and want to bring something, you can have them bring a side dish such as edamame (soybeans) or sake (rice wine) or even dessert, maybe a green tea ice cream. Many of these items can be found at major grocery stores and this could help to minimize your costs.

• Research various sushi recipes online, both hot and cold, cooked and raw, to start developing your menu. When developing your menu, select ingredients that are in season and grown or produced locally. By doing this, you will save on cost and ensure the freshest ingredients.

• Make a few calls to your local grocery chain or seafood market to see what fish is in season. Ask if they have any sushi grade fish and the price. Sushi grade fish normally has been frozen for a specific period of time to kill any parasites that might have been in the fish, i.e. according to minimum health standards -4 degrees Fahrenheit or lower for at least 7 days). Ask if they have any seafood on sale…you may even ask who their fish suppliers are to purchase wholesale, if you are buying a large quantity of fish.

• To learn how to make sushi, you can either learn via the internet, which is full of resources (YouTube is a great source!) or purchase a sushi book if you feel adventurous and don’t mind the mess. It will take some trial and error, and also practice, but you’ll get it sooner than you think!

• If you don’t feel comfortable making the sushi, you have another alternative. Ask family members of friends if they know of a Sushi chef that you can hire on a per hour basis to prepare sushi “live” at your event. Another great idea is to visit your favorite sushi restaurant and ask the sushi chef if he works private parties. In this economy, you won’t have difficulty finding a sushi chef at a decent price and since they are already in the industry, they may be able to get the ingredients at wholesale price for you!

By doing most of the leg work above, you can save between 30 to 50% of the cost of Japanese sushi restaurant. The savings can be put towards a couple of good bottles of Sake to toast with your friends.

I’m from the land of sushi where it takes a professional sushi chef at least three years to master how to check the quality of the fish, how to clean, open and slice the fish right. The chef has to have an extensive knowledge on disease, parasites and bacteria before they are allowed to handle raw fish.

Having said that, sushi diners leveled the playing fields when it comes to sushi making. Top quality sushi today are not always made by Japanese chefs. With increasing sushi popularity, sushi chefs with all ethnic backgrounds are emerging. I personally like the fact that these new sushi chefs exercise their creativity and expand the diners’ culinary horizon by presenting new types of sushi.

Ultimate Fighting Match of Top Sushi Chefs

Introduction:

If memory serves me right, “Nigiri” style sushi dates from the Edo era. Sushi was fast food for the common folk to pick up from vendors, and was called “Edo-mae-zushi.” The artistic harmony between seafood and vinegared rice. Sushi has now become the ultimate international Japanese food.

I also love sushi. And I think it’s about time we had a sushi battle. So it is that actor and film director Naoto Takenaka has strongly recommended to me a particular sushi bar.
A chef who take pride in being in the vanguard of Edo-mae style, which has a tradition of 180 years. Maximizing the flavors of seafood in season. Sounds good. Come in and show us that.

Today’s challenger: an evangelist of Edo-style sushi. Owner of Sushi-sho in Yotsuya. Chef Keiji Kakazawa. He entered this field at age 15. During the first 10 years, he apprenticed at many top sushi bars. And at Kyubei, one of the top sushi bars in Ginza, he completed this training. And at only 30, he opened his own place, Sushi-sho in Yotsuya, to carry on the tradition of Edo style sushi. Nakazawa’s works are fusions of traditional and modern ideas. They speak of the heart of Edo culture.

Takenaka visited the challenger to loosen him up before the battle. Now, Nakazawa! Use your skills that Takenaka trusts and show us what Edo food culture is all about!
