Naked Sushi Takes Over Long Beach




We had an EXTRAORDINARY event last weekend hosting a private birthday party for 75 guests, featuring, not one, but TWO Nyotaimori "Naked-Body-Sushi" models! Side by side, one gorgeous blonde, and next to her a firey redhead took stage and were each adorned in a succulent feast of hand-crafted fusion sushi by my friend, and celebrity Sushi Artist Yamatsu. Yamatsu was in town only for the summer and he agreed to show off his repretoire of culinary excellence for our guests in Naples Island. We seared Kobe' beef & Scallop Skewers & and hand passed Roasted Maple & Sauterne', with Rosemary Pineapple skewers to follow. The guests were a little tentative at first to dig in to the buffet of our sushi models as the presentation was spectacular and did indeed, look too good to eat! They did eventually consume everything but the tea leaves, and they were kind enough to leave the girls with us too...! With hand carved cucumber cups filled with an arrangement of Super Premium Sake's selected by yours truly, all 75 guests were truly impressed with their brief visit to a Zen Japanese Paradise on the water in Long Beach!! We were sorry to see Chef Yamatsu leave but his presence and his creations will be keeping our palates salivating for a long time to come..............
