Individually-Packaged Sushi Boxes Catering

Sushi originated as street food in Japan during the 8th century, but it wasn't until the 1960s with the opening of Kawafuku in Los Angeles's Little Tokyo that it gained popularity in the United States. The dish consists of seasoned rice and seaweed wrapped around ingredients such as raw fish, tempura, fruit, and vegetables. The rising popularity of sushi was a sign of changing tastes in America, as traditional "meat and potatoes" offerings were declining and making way for more sophisticated cuisines. The creation of the California roll, filled with imitation crab and avocado instead of raw fish, helped increase the popularity of sushi by making it more accessible to a wider audience. Nowadays, sushi is a convenient and affordable option for diners and can be customized to suit individual preferences, making individually-packaged sushi boxes a great option for your next event!

Best Practices and Tips when Ordering Individually-Packaged Sushi Boxes

Best Practices and Tips when Ordering Individually-Packaged Sushi Boxes

Here is some quick sushi terminology: maki is the traditional sushi roll most think of when ordering sushi. Sashimi is raw slice of fish with no rice at all. Nigiri is raw fish on top of a small clump of rice. You’ll rarely get brown rice sushi because it’s not sticky enough. Sushi rice is very sticky and has a vinegar flavor to it because it is made with rice vinegar. Though most fish can be served raw, shrimp is always cooked and that’s why it is typically pink/red. Raw shrimp is gray. A good reminder that not all sushi is raw fish!

Is Sushi Gluten-Free?

Is Sushi Gluten-Free?

Where can I find sushi burritos or poke?
