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.
🍽️ Thinking about a Buffet or Seated Party?

Sushi catering at the Messe ZurichSharing 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!

Every year, Christmas comes around and we ask ourselves,
“What should I give this time?”

But what if this year,
you could give a memory instead of a thing?
Sushi Yoko gift vouchers offer something special:
time spent together, shared smiles, and moments that stay in your heart long after Christmas is over.

Kimono New Year’s Gathering in Switzerland
To celebrate the Lunar New Year, we hosted a Kimono New Year’s Gathering at our home in Switzerland. As we were unable to hold this event last year, we were truly delighted to spend a wonderful time with everyone this year.
Rediscovering the Beauty of Kimono
On the event day, Blossom (@kimono.blossom.ch) kindly helped dress four participants in kimono. Some attendees had the special experience of wearing a kimono or an obi passed down from their mothers or grandmothers for the first time. This once again reminded us of the timeless beauty and significance of kimono. We were also deeply grateful to welcome two guests who traveled from beyond national borders to join us.
Osechi Cuisine & Elegant Table Setting
We prepared a traditional osechi meal to celebrate the occasion, thoughtfully arranging each dish. Although osechi requires advance preparation and is less demanding than sushi catering, it still took over 40 minutes to carefully set up the table. Seeing the guests moved by the presentation made all the effort worthwhile. A special thanks to Minako, who assisted with sushi rolling, serving, and tidying up throughout the event.
Debut of Wajima Lacquer Toso Set
For the first time, we used a Wajima lacquer toso (sake) set sent from Japan. We cherish this beautiful piece and hope to continue using it for many special occasions in the future. Perhaps, it will even make an appearance at a wedding reception or other celebratory events one day.
A Special Moment with Table-Style Tea Ceremony
We were honored to witness a table-style tea ceremony demonstration by Blossom, who became the first in the world to obtain the Tsubaki no Kai Table-Style Tea Ceremony Advisor Certification (Overseas Exclusive) last October. She is also engaged in an inspiring SDGs initiative, creating handmade fukusa (tea cloths) from kimono fabric to promote sustainability. We look forward to collaborating on many more cultural projects together.
Now Accepting Students for Table-Style Tea Ceremony Classes!
Beginners are warmly welcome! Even if you have no prior experience, we will carefully guide you so that you can confidently prepare tea, just like Blossom did. For more details and registration, please visit the link below:
I sincerely appreciate everyone who attended this event. May the wonderful connections we’ve made continue to flourish.

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.
