Baby Sushi Costume for Halloween

Babies can be sushi too!!!

Our last post was pretty fun to look at, so why not keep the Halloween theme going...

As you can see this is an easy enough costume to throw together at home.  All you need to do is get down to the sushi details.

Check out the ginger and wasabi on their heads.  Perhaps you can take it a step further and add some sesame seeds, or chop sticks?

Let us know how your Halloween turns out, and if you have any sushi costumes, please send us an image :-)

A Halloween Costume Idea

How awesome is this picture?

If you have a pet and love sushi, this just might be the perfect costume for you. As you can see, you get to sport a Kikkoman soy sauce bottle costume. For most, this would be a good enough costume, but if you want to take it to the max, you can throw the additional props into the scene.

To add the pet portion of the costume, here's what you need:

• Planks of wood (to assemble) or an already assembled wood table that can be made to resemble a sushi block plate.
• Pink ribbons (for the ginger)
• A circular green pillow (for the wasabi)
• A 2 x 4 piece of wood with a slice in the center (chopsticks)
• A long pillowcase cut diagonally across the top (to house the chopsticks)
• For the pieces of sushi, you must either sew your own more sophisticated pieces or purchase a small, but long pillow that can resemble a piece of sashimi. Add a thick strap to each piece to wrap around the stomach of your pets.
• Finally, you will need your pet(s) to be tame enough to wear sushi on their back(s).

This list might make it seem like a lot of work, but don't you think this costume is well worth it? With Halloween only 10 days ago, we hope we've given you enough of a lead time to get all of this done to pull this off this year. 

If you do go this route, please send us some pictures of the costume. We'd love to see how it turns out in the end. 

Heather.... Are You There?

A few weeks ago, we posted a blog about a really cool idea we had to give one of our community members an opportunity to enjoy free sushi with some of our local fans.

We received some interest on Twitter from a few individuals that would be honored to take Heather out for a lunch whilst we comp the meal for up to $25. A few days after we posted the blog about Heather, we completely lost touch with her. Where did she go?

So now we're stuck between a rock and a hard place with these wonderful individuals that would love to show Heather a good time over some delicious sushi and an unresponsive participant that was the main reason we were doing this in the first place.

We kindly ask that everybody reach out to Heather on Twitter @heathernuma and find out if she would still like to take us up on this offer. We simply don't understand why she wouldn't.

Here is Heather's Twitter picture.

Thank you in advance for all of your help.

Thank You Diana G.!

A few weeks ago, we noticed that a fine young lady by the name of "Diana G" left a 4 star comment on our Trip Advisor page.

Here's a snippet of what Diana had to say about her recent visit:

I was here with a group of about 12 people and the service was excellent...maybe a little slow but nothing extreme. I had the Mango Saketini and it was fantastic :)! Also I had their Ichiban Soup ( for 2 bucks you can't beat that!) and their Rock n' Roll and Spider Roll. Both were really good, I prefer the Rock n' Roll over the Spider...the Spider was a bit bland. Nevertheless I enjoyed both items. 


She sounds so lovely, doesn't she? 


Diana obviously is surrounded by a lot of great sushi-loving friends and has great taste in restaurants and food. We love that she enjoyed the Rock N' Roll so much. It's one of our most popular rolls!

Our goal is to find Diana G. and thank her personally for this kind review. Does anybody know her? Can you have her email us at ichibansushiorlando@gmail.com? We'll hook you up if you can track her down for us.

Thanks so much, Diana. We really appreciate the positive feedback.
