Sushi has taken California by storm due to its healthy nature. Sushi uses fresh ingredients and the average meal is below 400 calories. California is known for people living healthy lifestyles. We can also see that sushi consumption across the country has increased each year. We plan to capitalize on this trend by creating a small sleek modern sushi restaurant called Nichibotsu. We have created a sushi restaurant that embodies the California spirit named Nichibotsu. Nichibotsu is a small bistro that has an open concept. Our restaurant will be located on the cliffs of Malibu and have a breathtaking view of the ocean. Nichibotsu is the Japanese word for sunset, this name is symbolic of the beautiful views our guests will enjoy while they eat …show more content…
To achieve this view we plan to locate ourselves in the cliffs of Malibu, California. Also, Sushi consumption in the US has increased by 28% in the past fours and California consumes the most sushi out of any other state in the US. Malibu is a wealthy area in California that makes an average median income of $125,915. Also, 60.2% of the population are college graduates Majority of the population who lives in Malibu is between the ages of 25-35 years old. This lines up with opening a sushi restaurant because people between the ages of 30 and 50 consume the most sushi per …show more content…
To keep with our modern feel our main colors will be black and white with hints of red. We will have a few Japanese painting around the restaurant, but we will have minimal decor and only red vase with a cherry blossom on the table. Our restaurant will be loud and your conversations will fill the air mixed with softly playing Japanese music. We will have overhead lights that are similar to paper lanterns. The main focal point of our restaurant, however, is the view. The whole back of restaurant will be windows that overlook the
One quality that is involved in a restaurant is the atmosphere and the positive energy it gives off. Considering the Western theme, they have the restaurant well decorated from the entrance, to the place where you sit. The walls are painted with tumbleweeds on them, with great lighting that allows you to see, and not go blind. The plates and silverware are very nice, as is the food that goes into them.

Three to four small dishes are served as side dishes-- “perhaps a small fish, grilled whole, a bowl of cooked vegetables and a portion of salad” (Downer 29). If there are guests, shrimp fried in tempura batter are also served (Downer 29). Rice, vegetables, pickled vegetables and fruits, and soup make up the main meal. Dishes are usually chosen to suit the seasons. For example, in winter the hot pot-like sukiyaki dish is served, especially around New Year’s. To eat sukiyaki, one dips thinly sliced beef into soup until it is cooked. While meat like sukiyaki is common, foods like barbecue, a common summer food in America, are not usually eaten. Aside from meats, the main things that the Japanese eat are rice, seafood, and vegetables. The main meal Americans know about, is, of course, the famous sushi. In Japan and most authentic Japanese restaurants, California rolls are actually not the most common type of sushi. There are many types of sushi, such as tamago (egg) or inarizushi, which is sushi rice wrapped in fried bean curds. Sushi is always made with vinegared white rice and often wrapped in seaweed or with raw fish that can also be eaten individually as sashimi (“Food”). Wasabi, or green horseradish paste, is used to kill germs that may be remaining on the raw fish. Ginger is eaten after every individual piece as a palate cleanser. Because raw fish is used in their meals, the Japanese shop daily so their food is as fresh as possible (“Food”). The Japanese dinner is a family gathering
Meriam-Webster Dictionary defines food as “material taken into an organism and used for growth, repair, and vital processes as a source of energy” (Mish). Food is simple, yet humans have made it very complex. In the United States of America, food has become more of a hobby than a nutritional need. Every family gathering, holiday, and birthday celebration contains food of some sort. Types of food are customary at different times, like birthday cake at a birthday party, or stuffing at Thanksgiving. There is an entire holiday dedicated to dressing up and giving children candy (Halloween). One of the popular holiday foods is meat. An average of 10 million land animals (not including fish or other water dwelling organisms) are brutally slaughtered
The dramatically successful revitalization project plus the town's location in the San Francisco Bay Area -- and the existence of the Amtrak station right here in Suisun City -- makes this a surprisingly sophisticated, forward-looking place to live. It does not have the usual small town vibe. Instead, it combines many of the best features of being in a small town with some of the most desirable aspects that many people find alluring in a more urban environment.
It won a local award, the Golden Foodie, for best Asian cuisine in 2016. The restaurant menu pricing is moderate, and they also have a full bar. The owner's’ concern
Overfishing is a harmful practice, that will eventually lead to the collapse of aquatic ecosystems, if it’s not dealt with promptly. Overfishing emerges from the combination of our over consumptive society mixed with the great profits that come from hauling in a good catch. The consumers demand for fish in Japan seems to be at an increasingly high rate due to the enjoyment and cultural values that arise from sushi and other traditional dishes involving seafood. Approximately 23 percent of Japan’s protein intake comes from the ocean, and as a nation consumes 7.5 million tonnes of seafood annually. CITATION
First, it all starts with the dried seaweed, known as “Nori”, dried to perfection; crispy, flavorful, and fit to be consumed as a crucial part of sushi. Rice joins in, and is spread out on the seaweed. All the toppings get tossed into the mix, and brought into existence is a bundle of pride and enjoyment: sushi. As a passionate sushi lover, I follow the motto “Sushi is love, sushi is life. If it isn’t sushi, it’s never sushi.” Countless people around in my presence have eaten sushi; I stand by the judgment that it’s simply one of the best foods that exist. It’s not perfect, there are some negligible points that never arrive at the point of being singled out, noticed even, those issues right under your nose. People notice them for a split second and wonder about what could be bothering
The reason why Kyoto is one of the most cultural hot spots in the world is because of all the historic buildings, landmarks and the diversity of it’s goods. Kyoto is also known to have 1,600 Buddhist Shrines and 400 Shinto Temples and among the shrines and temples are the “17 historic monuments of ancient Kyoto”(Foster). The food plays a big part in making Kyoto the top tourist spot, considering that the food “ is diverse and ranges from aristocratic kaiseki ryori course dinners to the vegetarian shojin ryori of monks and the simple obanzai ryori home style cooking”(“Kyoto Food”). Some restaurants use the past to inspire their cooking, while other restaurants “combine ingredients and techniques of Kyoto cuisine with cooking styles from other parts of the world”(“Kyoto Food”). The best places to find these different styled restaurants are the Pontocho and Gion districts and the Kyoto Station area, but for true foodies the Nishiki Market, which is also called “Kyoto’s Kitchen”, is the best place to go since it has over a hundred diverse food shops. For people who aren’t foodies and like to keep it simple, they can also find Ramen, Sushi, and Udon, which are simple but delicious foods, in these areas. Now, for the people like to experience the true Kyoto cuisine, they can find restaurants who can offer dining styles such as Obanzai
There is a small relationship between fast food and cigarettes where each one significantly causes long term problems. Similarly, eating fast food and smoking too much becomes dangerously unhealthy and both are addicting. However, the difference is fast food started off on good terms. It was intended as a helpful way to provide meals quick and ready, thus given its name (Aldridge 279). Fast food restaurants successfully expanded and became popular all over the world. Despite the worldwide success and popularity, it did gain negative views after weight problems began to rise. The food served from the fast food industry was never considered healthy and soon became the target for the blame on health problems, specifically obesity. Although fast
Intro: You know what is absolutely delicious? Sushi. I mean who doesn’t like Sushi? But did you know that the yummy blue fin tuna that we eat in our Sushi is nearly extinct? But oh well, who really cares? There’s plenty of fish in the sea, right? Um… maybe not.
When we arrived to Chinatown, our first stop was to get something to eat. I was extremely excited to eat at an authentic Chinese restaurant because I knew it would be different than the Chinese food I usually eat. We decided to go to Phoenix, a popular restaurant that was recommended by several people who lived in Chinatown, and who didn’t. When we got into the restaurant, it was very elegant. There were glass chandeliers and tables with silk white table cloth. I really noticed the
You know I never thought of grocery shopping as being a challenge or a skill until I had a house of my own and a family to care for. Today's grocery shopping trips in the Lambert household include my three children ages seven, four, and two tagging along. Wanting anything and everything. I use to enjoy grocery shopping and now it takes so much planning, memorization, and legit skill to get in and out within my set budget, and with getting everything on my list. After doing this for about seven to eight years with children I would consider myself a pro at grocery shopping!

Eating Responsibly To eat responsibly means to know what you are eating and knowing what you are putting into your body, whether it is healthy for you or not. It’s a sad fact that the typical American diet (high in meat and processed foods) is not healthy. There are a lot of different ways to stay healthy, but it can also be very difficult to follow a good diet plan all the time. I know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I have tried to eat well before all of my classes. I include the necessary protein of eggs and sausage, and include a fruit of some kind.
