Gift ideas for sushi lovers
Some people can’t walk past a sushi bar. Here’s what makes them happy — from small to big.
For making sushi at home
- A hangiri: the shallow wooden tub for seasoning sushi rice.
- A good bamboo mat (makisu) and a rice paddle (shamoji).
- A sharp single-bevel knife for fish — for the ambitious.
- Good short-grain rice, rice vinegar and real wasabi root.
For the table
- Hand-made chopsticks and chopstick rests.
- Small plates for soy sauce, or a ceramic sushi board.
- A sake set: a tokkuri flask and two cups.
Experiences
- A sushi-making class for two.
- An omakase dinner voucher at their favourite sushi bar.
- A cookbook from a sushi master.
For the wall
Our lenticular Maneki-neko poster waves as you walk past, and an NFC chip inside can open a link you choose — a video message, a playlist or that dinner voucher. A gift that keeps greeting them.
