Sushi

Sushi, By definition it is seasoned Vinegar rice topped with other ingredients such as fish. Sushi in the hands of our amazing Asian Chef, Chris, is indulgent, decadent, and an incredible pleasure! Having been raised in Asian kitchens, his experience allows him to create masterful flavor combinations the bring the beauty & culture of Japan & Southeast Asian to life. The staff at Provence Catering is very fortunate to have been the recipients of many of Chef Chris's demonstrations and recipe development days in the last couple weeks. At a recent event hosted by an Asian Client in the outskirts of Manhattan, the clients raved continuously about his attention to detail and incredible style.
Sushi to me is one of life's incredible pleasures. Simple yet complex, Rich yet Healthy, Fresh, True and beautiful to the eye & Palette both. Whether it be the Makizushi (Rolled in or around Nori), Iniarizushi (Tucked into a small pouch of tofu), or Chirashi-Zushi (Scattered over a bowl of Rice) the flavors & freshness are amazing. Please do not confuse Sushi with Sashimi which is Sliced Raw Fish alone. Do not fret though, Chef Chris can certainly handle either request.
