Hey there, last-minute party people! Have you procrastinated and/or forgotten to make plans for New Year’s Eve? It’s not too late to make it a night to remember! Mashiko still has a few tables available for our tasty, sustainable celebration. Why not call now to make your reservations? Thursday will be here before you know it…
You know those little people you send off to school each morning? Well, it seems that you will now be stuck with them nonstop for a week or two. What to do, what to do? How’s about having some fun learning about Japan? That would be totally cool! We bet you’ll dig this site as much as your young ones will. Plus, you will be stealthily sneaking in a bit of education as well. You’re welcome.
Last month, Mashiko Restaurant held a fundraiser that required participants to have moustaches. Here are our favorite participants:
Thanks to everyone who took part, we will be presenting the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance with a check for $896.50. Way to kick the crap out of cancer, you sexy moustache-having warriors!
We were happy that Seattle Magazine made mention of sustainable, local seafood on its December 2009 cover. We were excited to see the words ”Sustainable Seafood” imprinted on the magazine’s spine. And sure, we were geeked to see our very own Chef Hajime Sato smiling at us courtesy of Hayley Young. But what left us most satisfied was the thoughtful article by Cynthia Nims.
If you are still unsure about what sustainable seafood is or why you should care about it, please check out the article. It is insightful, concise, and hopeful. Heck, it even boldly dispels the misconception that all farmed seafood is evil. Thank you for your bravery, Cynthia!
This year, find out what West Seattle has known since 1994 - The best New Year’s Eve celebrations begin at Mashiko Restaurant! Hajime has put together a great menu for only $60 per couple. This sustainable dinner includes some of our most popular items to share:
1 tempting appetizer (from the sushi bar)
6 tasty pieces of nigiri
1 scrumptious roll
1 delightfully oversized bento
1 delicious desert
Reservation times for New Year’s Eve will begin at 5:30pm. Call us at (206) 935-4339 soon as this night always fills up quickly. We hope to be a part of your New Year’s Eve 2010 festivities!
New Year's Eve is a fine excuse to drink more sake.
Are you looking for unique gift ideas that are sure to be well-received? Would it be even better if they were merely a click away? We’re here to help…
Encourage the sushi enthusiast in your life to take it to the next level with the gift of instruction. Our very own Chef Hajime Sato moonlights at NuCulinary, teaching fabulously fun sustainable sushi making classes. He is also featured in two of their three sushi making DVDs.
Naomi runs a pretty nice operation over there are NuCulinary.
Still grumpy about missing Chef Hajime Sato on Food Network? You now have two opportunities to finally right that wrong. The Pacific Northwest episode of Extreme Cuisine with Jeff Corwin will be re-aired on Thursday, November 26th at 9:00pm ET/PT and again on Friday, November 27th at 12:00am ET/PT. It will be a great way to unwind after an entire day of pigging out with a bunch of people whose company you hopefully enjoyed. Don’t miss it!
One of the key tenets of sustainable sushi is traceability. At Mashiko, we are proud to have the ever-vigilant Hajime investigating the origins of our seafood. What? You don’t think traceability has a direct impact on you? Well then, please take a gander at this article. It seems that some restaurants have been serving (we hope unknowingly) the infamous escolar in lieu of tuna. We’re all for surprises, but getting the tuna/escolar switch would probably make us insane with, well… stomach cramps, loose bowel movements, anal leakage, diarrhea, headaches, nausea, and vomiting.
Accidentally eating escolar may lead to other types of accidents.
We like you, and we don’t want you to get sick. That is one of the reasons we are such sticklers for traceability. We can identify the fish we serve as well as tell you where they came from and how they were caught. When you order sushi, ask questions about what you will be getting. The best sushi chefs study what they serve. Eat well, and be well!
Please help us locate this missing dog. Mashiko will add $200 to the reward offered. Come on, West Seattle! Please help if you can!
