Private Sushi for a Family with Young Children in Minami-Aoyama | Executive Omakase for 4

**”We haven’t been out to eat in ages. The kids are too small.”**

That’s the reality for many parents with young children — and exactly why this family chose private sushi catering.

A couple in Minami-Aoyama invited friends visiting from Australia for an evening of omakase sushi at home. Four adults, two toddlers playing happily nearby, and a sushi chef at the kitchen counter. No reservations, no babysitter, no stress.

## When You Can’t Go Out, Bring the Restaurant Home

This is something I hear often from clients with small children: they love good food, but going to a restaurant has become almost impossible. Between nap schedules, tantrums, and the self-consciousness of disturbing other diners, dining out stops being enjoyable.

Private sushi catering solves this. The children played freely in the room while the adults enjoyed a full Executive course — appetizers, fifteen pieces of nigiri, conversation, and wine. Nobody had to worry about noise levels or keeping kids seated. The evening unfolded at their own pace.

## A Special Omakase with Appetizers

The booking was for the Executive course at ¥15,000 per person, but the request was simply “omakase” — leave it to the chef. So I built a special menu that added five appetizer courses before the nigiri, something not normally included in the Executive course.

The guests had let me know in advance that liver, offal, and shirako were off limits — so the appetizer lineup was crafted around that.

**Seared bluefin tuna cheek** — brushed with nikiri soy and torched. This cut blurs the line between fish and meat — the texture is so rich and dense that guests regularly ask if it’s beef. It was the most talked-about dish of the evening.

**Simmered monkfish, mahata (grouper) belly, simmered oysters, and simmered abalone** — slow-cooked appetizers meant to be enjoyed with drinks, easing into the nigiri to come.

## 15 Pieces of Nigiri | Executive Course

Kohada, ma-aji, sumi-ika, akami, chutoro, sawara, saba, aka-ebi, noten (seared bluefin crown), hotate, beni-zuwai crab, hotaru-ika, bafun uni, ikura, and toro-taku maki.

The standout reactions:

**Hotaru-ika (firefly squid) namerou nigiri** — a spring specialty. Instead of serving the squid whole, I prepared it as namerou — a rough chop with miso and shiso — and shaped it into nigiri. A preparation none of the guests had seen before.

**Noten (bluefin crown), seared** — the fattiest part of the tuna head. Torched to release the oils, it has a melt-in-your-mouth quality that’s different from regular toro.

**Toro-taku maki** — made with chutoro for an extra-rich finish. The creamy tuna against the crunch of pickled daikon is a perfect way to end the course.

## Bilingual Kids and How the Brain Handles Language

One of my favorite parts of private catering is the conversations that happen naturally at the counter.

This evening, the discussion turned to raising bilingual children. The hosts’ and guests’ kids are growing up with multiple languages, and the adults got into a fascinating exchange about how polyglots’ brains might process different languages through different neural pathways — and what that means for children absorbing languages at a young age.

These are the kinds of conversations that make private sushi special. There’s no time limit, no neighboring table, no reason to hold back.
