Sushi Catering | An Omakase Course for a Proposal Night

💍 Entrusted with Sushi Catering for the Best Moment of Their Lives — a Proposal

The other day, I had the honor of catering a very special private event.

After the booking, the client’s message read:

“I’m going to propose on this day.”

From the moment I read that line, I knew: this had to be an unforgettable night. I’ve catered countless events, but I’ve never felt this nervous before.

🍣 An Omakase Course Just for the Two of Them

For this occasion, I prepared a special omakase course meant only for the couple. Using seasonal ingredients, I put my heart into every plate to build a course unique to that one night.

The menu included:
・Seasonal pickles

・Miso soup

・Spicy tuna tartare

・Seared beef tataki

・Salmon uramaki

・Beef fillet sando

Beyond the food itself, I paid close attention to the service and timing, so the evening would be one they’d never forget.

😊 A Smile Beyond the Nerves

The whole day was one continuous string of nerves. I moved carefully through each course, mindful of the timing and of never intruding on such a private, important moment for the two of them.

And when I finally served the last dish and saw their happy smiles, I could finally let out a breath.

“I’m so glad it went well.” That says it all.

💌 A Message That Made My Day

A few days later, I received this message from the client:

“It was an amazing experience, far beyond our expectations. We’re so happy you were there.”

Hearing words like these is, for a chef, one of the greatest joys there is. I’m deeply grateful they chose me for such a meaningful milestone in their lives, and that I got to share in that special moment with them.

🍣 Sushi Catering for Proposals, Anniversaries, and Special Days

At Sushi Yoko, I offer private sushi catering at your home or a private venue. Whether it’s a proposal, an anniversary, a birthday, or a family celebration, I create a custom omakase course for each and every couple or family.

“A once-in-a-lifetime day deserves food you’ll never forget.” That’s the spirit behind every dish I prepare.

Feel free to reach out through the catering inquiry form on the website. I’d be truly delighted to help make your special day unforgettable.

Sushi Catering | Buffet Party All-Inclusive Package — A Birthday Celebration in Zurich

🍣 Buffet Party All-Inclusive Package

For a birthday party held in Zurich on July 10th, the host chose our all-inclusive package — food, glasses, and drinks all included in one plan. All glasses were arranged by us, so the host didn’t need to prepare anything.

The event was originally planned for 35 guests, but the final headcount grew to 53. Thanks to the flexibility of the all-inclusive package, we were able to adapt smoothly to the larger group on the day.

For this event, we prepared three types of glasses, with a **name tag** (in both Japanese and Roman letters) for every guest, plus a **glass marker** so each guest could instantly tell which glass was theirs. This is especially useful for large parties, where mixing up names or glasses can easily happen — guests loved being able to spot their own glass at a glance.

Since it was a very hot day, we also arranged a fridge on-site. For large parties, we generally recommend renting a fridge — another example of the thoughtful details that come with the all-inclusive package.

The menu also included a wide range of vegetarian dishes, so vegan and vegetarian guests could be warmly welcomed alongside everyone else.

It was a wonderful day filled with smiles.

Sushi Catering at a Finance Industry Trade Fair

Sharing Japanese food culture in Switzerland

Sushi Catering at a Finance Industry Trade Fair

We had the pleasure of providing vegetarian sushi catering at a finance industry trade fair held in Switzerland.

Over the course of the event, around 400 guests in total enjoyed our vegetarian sushi, giving many people the chance to experience Japanese food culture.

To make it easy for visitors to enjoy sushi even within the limited time of a trade fair, we prepared everything in small, bite-sized portions.

To catch the interest of people passing by our booth, we approached each guest personally and asked:

“Would you like to try some sushi?”

It was wonderful to see people who had only been watching from a distance stop by because of the sushi, ask us questions about Japan, and enjoy the food with a smile.

The event reminded us once again that sushi is not only a dish to be enjoyed, but also a wonderful way to bring people together and spark conversation.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Heidi Steenblock for this valuable opportunity and for her warm support throughout the event.

Thank you very much to everyone who visited our booth!

We Also Offer Catering for Trade Fairs and Corporate Events

Sushi Yoko provides Japanese food catering throughout Switzerland for trade fairs, corporate events, conferences, receptions, private parties, and more.

We tailor our offering — sushi, vegetarian sushi, or Japanese menus — to the size and nature of your corporate event.

Sushi Catering | A Festive New Year’s Celebratory Meal (Party of 10)

🎍 A Festive New Year’s Celebratory Meal

In January 2026, we had the pleasure of preparing a festive spread for a New Year’s celebration with 10 guests.
The gathering began with otoso, spiced sake served from a beautiful Wajima-nuri lacquerware set, setting a solemn yet celebratory New Year’s tone.
The menu featured dishes fitting for a celebration, including simmered shrimp (ebi-umani) and sushi, paired with sake and champagne for the toast. It was a special occasion that balanced traditional Japanese festivity with elegance.

💍 Also Great for Wedding Registration Celebrations

A spread like this can also be arranged for other special occasions, such as celebrating your civil wedding registration. See our Wedding Registration Celebration plan for details.

Catering for car clubs

We received a catering order from a repeat customer for their car club’s New Year meeting. When they asked, “Is it okay even though Sushi Yoko is in Japan?” they happily agreed, saying it was fine, which made me feel so grateful for their trust in our assistants. 😅

Although there were a few hiccups, everything went smoothly in the end, and I felt truly relieved. By the way, the cars owned by the club members were absolutely stunning! 🤩

Peter, thank you so much for your order. We truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to serving you again. And to Shino, Minako, and Keiko—great job! You all handled it so well, and I couldn’t be prouder.

Thank you for your hard work, and I look forward to working with you again! You can find the menu at here.
