Japanese Sushi Party

This is an easy and fun party to plan for just a few friends, your family or a large group of people...

just add more sushi or less sushi to your party depending on how many guests you have.

I created this party for  our family only.

This is a fun way to enjoy sushi and a unique way to make dinner extra special!

My family gets excited about "theme" nights and my husband has plenty of Jui Jitsu Gear...(enough said!)

this is a very easy party to set up (and a good excuse to use my new square plates)

The mini take out boxes make a fun inexpensive centerpiece.

I also bought a bulk package of chop sticks, but you can get those free when you buy sushi.

Hot Tea is a nice touch,

I have had this glass tea pot for a long time, and I am glad to finally use it.

The Sushi is from our local grocery store, I just arranged the sushi on other plates

Cut up fruit....easy!

And the best part....

DESSERT SUSHI!

YES, TWINKIES, HO HO'S AND MINI DONUTS!

we had a contest to see how many mini marshmallows we could pick up using chop sticks

and the biggest hit of all

Origami!

We started easy with cute hearts and moved on to cranes

 In Japan, it is commonly said that folding 1000 paper origami cranes makes a person's wish come true!

We started our cranes...but, we have a long way to go to 1,000!

Sushi Night....We are on a Roll!

Mike always has a perfect outfit for any party!



We discussed Japan and learned about their culture, location and foods.
We had to have Karaoke!!!!
 The hit of the party was making "Candy Sushi!"

Prepare  Rice Crispy Treats according to package:

A couple of helpful tricks:

Grease the wax paper with cooking spray first and coat the spatula with cooking spray as well!
One batch of Rice Krispy Treats makes 6 rolls. Spread the rice krispies out thinly on the greased wax paper. I opened up a fruit roll up to see the size prior to cutting up the treats.
We used Multi Colored Twizzlers, roll the rice krispies around the candy tightly
Next roll the fruit roll ups tightly around the "sushi roll"

cut into slices....




This was an easy and inexpensive night of fun!
