Team Sushi
You already know that your co-workers are capable of rising to all sorts of lofty challenges. But creating an entire sushi meal? Yes, it can be done, and in a fashion that brings people together in a delightful departure from the day-to-day dynamics of the workplace. In this sense, sushi makes a healthy meal in more ways than one.
We assemble your group into five-person teams. Group people according to company departments, sales regions, or any other approach that makes sense within your company’s culture. Allowing each team to name itself adds a nice touch. Then, an expert sushi chef guides the entire group through the preparation of this seven-part extravaganza. Delicacies include Green Tea, Clear Soup, Sushi Rice, Box Sushi, Wrapping Sushi, Rolled Sushi and Hand Roll, with beautifully cut fruit as dessert. Remember, absolutely no experience is required – even if you don’t know a hangiri from a color copier, we’ll make sure your final product is worth the effort.
As with all Teambonding programs, Team Sushi is highly customizable. If you desire, we can take care of all initial prep work in advance, adding an element of instant gratification to the whole affair. It’s also easy to work any desired company theme into the introduction and optional debrief. Depending on the overall tone you’d like to create, we can also spice things up with spontaneous Sake-Bombs (alcoholic drink) throughout the event.
Outcomes
- Enhanced teamwork
- Fun interaction in a fresh environment
- The warm glow that follows a great meal
Features
- Teams learn as they prepare and enjoy a full seven-part sushi meal together!
Ideal Usage
- Award trips
- Retreats/conferences
- Company celebrations
Group Size
- Works really well when participants work in teams of five. We can comfortably accommodate one or two teams, or as many as your program calls for. If you prefer to have everyone work as a single team, we can accommodate that as well.
Time
- This varies according to your needs. A 4 _ hour event includes all rice cooking and fish & vegetable prep work. We’re happy to do a portion of this in advance to shorten the event by 1 hour. Team Sushi is a great way to finish up a day of meetings. It can also be easily woven into a conference schedule, either as a lunch or dinner event.
Space
- Any room with enough tables to accommodate your group will do nicely. Access to stovetop is a plus, but not required. On the day of your event, teambonding will assess the workspace, make any necessary alterations, and begin set up.
Experience
- “The group loved it!! They were talking about it for weeks. We’re so glad we found you all. We’re actually interested in possibly hosting another event in the winter or summer. Thanks for everything!”
