Editor's Notes
July 01, 2020:
There are a couple things you need in order to have a successful Japanese-themed dinner night: a sushi making kit to help you make adequate rolls that won't fall apart, and chopsticks to eat sushi properly. No one will blame you for using a fork, though it may be wise to invest in a pair of training chopsticks to help avoid future glares from friends and restaurant employees.
If you're looking for authentic Japanese-style plates, the Atlantic Dragonfly Dinnerware Set and Miya Kosui are great selections with intricate details. They both come in sleek black boxes, which makes it easy to wrap as a gift for family members and loved ones. They come with enough dinnerware for 2 people and are chic enough to be used as decorations.
If you're interested in simple designs, the Dowan Serving Platter and Delling Ultralight are high-quality porcelain selections that can be used to serve all types of foods like salads, appetizers, and desserts. They both can accommodate a small household well and are quite affordable. The Dowan has a larger surface area than the Delling, though the Dowan only comes with 4 plates while the Delling is a 6-pack selection.
The Elixer Deco Boat and What On Earth Shark Attack are great options if basic designs aren't to your liking. The Elixer is a wasen-looking construction that can carry a small amount of sushi, while the What On Earth can hold more rolls and uses a shark head design to hold sauce, though some have claimed that the compartment can leak a bit over time.
