Sushi Tablescape and a Mikasa Giveaway
~Do I have a fun post for you today including a HUGE giveaway at the end of the post~
Growing up, my parents had a love for Japaneese food, expecially sushi. My Dad would cook a tempura meal for us about once a month which was always a treat. Ocasionally my parents would take us out to our favorite Japaneese restaurant where we would take off our shoes, sit at a low dinning table on the floor pillows which were located in the rock gardens. It always made me feel so special and brings back such great memories.
Fortunately our boys have the same love for sushi as Ray and I. Living in San Diego we have local fishermen that bring their fresh caught fish directly to the farmers markets and my favorite seafood market. About once a month we buy a variety of fish and have sushi night with our friends. We all stand around the kitchen island and create some of the most amazing rolls. The best part, spending time with friends, creating memories and of course, eating our creations!
When Mikasa contacted me to see if I would be interested in reviewing some of their China I was so excited. For our wedding we received a beautiful set of formal china so I was looking for something a little more modern. The Floral Silhouette found here at Bon-Ton was the perfect pattern for our sushi nights!
I kept the table setting pretty simple with a neutral palette with pops of color coming from the pink roses. I didn’t want to take away from the subtle and gorgeous pattern on the dinnerware.
~I loved the tea set, perfect for serving green tea~
A lucky winner will be receiving all of the following in the Floral Silhouette Pattern, worth over $900.00!
~WOWZA~
I would serve a Steak and potato salad drizzled with Chimichurri sauce! Yummmm…..!
We had Japanese food yesterday, which I love so that is what I would use on it. I think it’s so pretty!
Oh man I love sushi as well as Chinese food so it would find a place on my table often.
I would fix a baked or grilled chicken breast with some type of sauce, along with a green salad with homemade blue cheese dressing, steamed green beans w/ almonds, and a delicious chocolate dessert!
Sooooo lovely! I’d use it to entertain in style!
Gorgeous! Any type of food would look good served using this setting!
Beautiful table setting! What a fun party idea.
I love this so much my daughter is remodeling a house on a lake I would so love to give this to her we can enjoy it together and she could pass it to her daughter:)!we love sushi our favorite is California rolls yummy
All I can say is WOW I love the Floral Silhouette Pattern!!! Today is my birthday so the stars should be aligned in my favor. If not I will be saving for a set. This is a “got to have” set for sure! Thank you so much for the chance to win it. 🙂
Looks like the perfect setup for jasmine tea and cinnamon scones!

Wonder if a person who doesnt blog vsn win?
My favorite food would be a baked salmon with stir fried zuchini.
I would serve a ham dinner!
For years, I kept my “good” china in the cupboard and pulled it out only a few times during the year. One day I decided to give my every day dishes to a woman’s shelter and brought out my china to be used every day. From tuna fish sandwiches to posh bites at dinner parties, I now enjoy my china all the time.
Moral of the story: if I won, for sure I would enjoy serving any and all types of foods!
I love that Susan!

I would serve a nice Greek salad with feta, tomatoes, cucumbers and olives! Yum.
My favorite food is Sushi!! I love it! Especially with the eel sauce *drools* If I could have it all the time I sooo would!!! I would either serve sushi or fish (a special recipe I created ;D) P= mm yum… hmm maybe even alfredo… well that’s something to think about 🙂

I would serve chicken with stir fried vegetables, mushrooms, with low sodium soy sauce, delish! and blackberry vanilla or strawberry tea in the pretty teapot, my favorite design! : )
We are also a sushi family. The possibilities are endless.
Your table is just gorgeous Kristin! So so pretty. We are big sushi lovers. My husband was raised in Japan and lived there until he was 18. I would serve my birthday dinner on these dishes!
