Private Sushi Catering for a Corporate Party at a Tower Mansion in Gotanda

**”We want something different for our team dinner.”**

That was the brief. A company in Tokyo was planning a team gathering and wanted to move beyond the usual izakaya reservation. They booked Sushi Hatake to bring the full omakase experience to a private lounge in a tower mansion in Gotanda.

Eleven guests. A mix of our Standard and Premium courses. One chef, one counter, and a skyline view.

## The Venue: A Private Lounge, High Above Gotanda

The venue was a residents-only lounge inside a tower mansion — the kind of space most people never see. Floor-to-ceiling windows with a nighttime cityscape, a clean kitchen area, and plenty of room to set up.

Tower mansion lounges and party rooms are some of the best venues for private sushi catering. They typically have running water, counter space, and power outlets — everything a sushi chef needs to work. If your building has one, it’s worth considering.

## What Was Served

### For All 11 Guests

Kohada (gizzard shad), ma-aji (horse mackerel), sumi-ika (golden cuttlefish), aka-ebi (red prawn), ishidai (striped beakfish), shime-saba (cured mackerel), madai kobujime (sea bream pressed with kelp), aka-kamasu (barracuda), sakura-ebi (cherry shrimp), and hon-maguro akami zuke (marinated bluefin tuna).

Spring ingredients like sakura-ebi and rich, fatty barracuda gave the lineup a seasonal character. Every booking is different — I select the fish the day before based on what looks best at market.

### Additional Pieces for Premium Guests (6 of 11)

Hon-maguro chutoro (bluefin medium fatty tuna), ama-ebi (sweet shrimp), ikura (salmon roe), isaki (chicken grunt), and toro-taku maki (fatty tuna and pickled daikon roll).

The Premium course adds luxury pieces like chutoro and ikura. The toro-taku roll at the end — rich tuna against the crunch of pickled daikon — is a perfect closer.

## Why Sushi Catering Works for Corporate Events

Most corporate dinners default to restaurant reservations. Private sushi catering offers something different.

**It starts conversations.** Watching a chef prepare sushi right in front of you gives everyone something to talk about. “What fish is that?” “How long does it take to learn?” — the shared experience naturally brings people together. For a team dinner, that matters more than the food itself.

**Budgets are transparent.** Per-person pricing means the organizer knows the exact cost upfront. No surprise bills, no awkward splitting.

**No travel required.** Hold the event in your own building’s lounge or your office meeting room. No herding the team across town.

**Complete privacy.** At a restaurant, you never know who’s sitting at the next table. With private sushi catering, the space is entirely yours — your team can speak freely about internal matters without worrying about being overheard. As a chef, I treat everything I hear at an event with absolute confidentiality. That has always been the case, and always will be.

## The Chef’s Vietnam Story

While preparing sushi, I had the chance to talk with the guests about my upcoming move to Vietnam. The questions came fast — “Will you make sushi there too?” “What’s the seafood like?”

This is one of the things I value most about private catering. The distance between chef and guest is almost zero. The conversation, the reactions, the questions — it all becomes part of the experience. You don’t get that at a restaurant counter with 12 strangers.
