Table Setting #180
Sushi with Stylish Maki-e Glass Rectangle Plates

Sushi is a traditional and highly representative Japanese dish, where delicate slices of fish are placed atop vinegar-seasoned rice. The vibrant colors of the fish against the white rice create a contrasting yet harmonious visual. Commonly plated on porcelain or wooden plates, we chose exquisite transparent glass plates for our table setting. The decorated glass complements the texture of the fish, not only beautifully presenting the sushi's quality but also adding a touch of sophistication to the overall ambiance.

The combination of gold on the plates and the overall black scheme harmonizes beautifully, exemplifying a classic and upscale color palette. The Wakasa lacquerware chopsticks adorned with detailed mother-of-pearl inlays and delicate color nuances, enrich the setting's radiance.

The minimalist luxury of both the maki-e glass rectangle plate and the black glossy table, enhances the appreciation of the glassware and the texture of sushi.
