Grand Entrance

NYC Museum of Food and Drink ~ November 8 ~ November 22

When entering Itadakimasu, the giant sushi that greet guests at the door are hard to miss. Large novelty chopsticks mark the entrance of the exhibit and will surely draw in families with children and sushi lovers alike. It was important to create a playful, whimsical environment for guests to let down their guard, learn, taste, and have fun. While visiting the theatre, make sure not to miss taking a breather on one of our giant maki cushions!

Welcome to Itadakimasu. Here is your wooden box. This contains everything you need for the exhibit.

We love giving gifts and we know guests love to recieve them. This is why we decided to create a wooden Itadakimasu box for every guest, filled with exciting items that will enrich the audience experience. These items will not only be used by guests while they walk through the exhibit, but are also limited edition keepsakes to remind them of Itdakimasu!

So, what’s in the box? First, you will find the sushi bar menu and rating card, along with a pencil to fill out the tear off slip. This is how you order your choice of sushi at the bar, as well as give us your thoughts on which ones were your favorites!

Next you’ll discover a custom, limited edition pair of reusable Itadakimasu chopsticks. In 1878, the Japanese became the first to create the now ubiquitous disposable set, typically made of bamboo or wood. In efforts to be more sustainable, our water-safe coated bamboo chopsticks are dual-purpose and reusable. You’ll need them soon to play The Chopstick Game, but after you can take them home to wash and use over and over again!

How could we forget the star of the show? The last part of the wooden box is five foam sushi ‘game pieces’ of different sizes and shapes. These are also yours to keep, but don’t forget to play The Chopstick Game before you leave!
