The first step is to organize a place where guests will sit. The good news is that you don’t have to worry about whether there will be enough chairs for everyone—you won’t need them at all. The Japanese party takes place on the floor - or rather, on the tatami. This is the Japanese analogue of our carpet - by the way, the latter can be used instead of the tatami itself, laying a beautiful blanket on top. The eating table should be low, just above the floor. An ikebana or, a simpler option, an artificial sakura branch in a vase would look great in the center. If you don’t like flowers, you can place a Japanese paper lantern in the center of the table instead, and decorate the entire room with the same lanterns: they will add not only ambiance, but also coziness. Or - for a more romantic setting - light small candles in bowls of water, adding rose petals on top. Since one of the symbols of Japan is a paper fan, open fans will be an excellent wall decoration, as will Japanese miniature paintings, photographs of Japan and phrases from hieroglyphs. Incense will also help you tune into the oriental mood - incense sticks with the scent of sakura, Japanese cypress or sandalwood.

Image: clothes, hairstyle, makeup

Once the room is decorated, you can start decorating yourself. Perhaps, many girls in their dreams tried on the role of a geisha - a seductive but inaccessible beauty. For a Japanese party, the look of a geisha is perfect. If you cannot get a real kimono and pokkuri - geisha shoes, they can be completely replaced by an oriental-style silk robe and open clogs on a high platform. But clothes are only half the battle. The center of the geisha image is a whitened face with black eyebrows and bright red bow lips. For makeup you will need a white foundation, black eyeliner to draw long arrows, eyebrow pencil, pink blush on the cheekbones and bright red lipstick. The latter should be applied only to the center of the lips, without grabbing the corners, to create a “bow”. Geishas create high hairstyles on their heads with kanzashi stick hairpins - however, for a party you can get by with ordinary bobby pins and a generous amount of hairspray. A paper fan or umbrella will complement the look. There are other looks that are suitable for a party - for example, you can dress up as a Japanese schoolgirl. Leg warmers, a miniskirt, a white shirt, a tie and two ponytails on your head - and you look both Japanese and also very sexy (by the way, don’t forget to show your boyfriend this look).

Food: sushi, tea and teriyaki sauce

What is a party without food, and what is a Japanese party without rolls and sushi - more precisely, “sushi”, as they say in the Land of the Rising Sun itself. By the way, according to Japanese etiquette, you can eat them with your hands, so no chopsticks. True, it is better to refuse “California” and “Philadelphia”, because in Japan they have not even been heard of. Unlike ramen, a super popular Japanese dish that should also be included on the party menu. These are wheat noodles in broth and the Japanese eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The broth is scooped up with a spoon and the noodles are pulled out with chopsticks. Various ingredients are added to it - meat, vegetables, sauces... Speaking of sauces. A Japanese-style party is simply impossible without teriyaki sauce. This Japanese culinary invention has long taken over the world - now they even put it on pizza, and it turns out very tasty. Especially if you order Papa John's teriyaki pizza - it is prepared from fresh and natural ingredients, and the dough is baked according to the original recipe. This pizza could well be a treat at a Japanese party. For dessert, you can enjoy banana tempura and fried ice cream, washed down with traditional matcha green tea. It is believed that it prolongs youth and improves skin condition. Maybe it's because of him that there are so many long-livers in Japan?

Entertainment: karaoke, music, films

The decor, appearance and menu have been decided - what about entertainment? Why not follow the example of the Japanese themselves and organize karaoke. In Japan, it is almost a cult: in Tokyo there are entire neighborhoods with huge multi-story karaoke houses. True, the Japanese sing in Japanese - but, you see, you can step back from the surroundings once and sing your beloved Polina Gagarina. Well, if you don’t want to train your ligaments, but your soul requires music - and specifically Japanese music - here are a few names of Japanese performers: Gackt, Yui, Hatsune Miku. By the way, the latter is a singing hologram, which in Japan is more popular than many “living” stars. Just like anime characters - famous Japanese cartoons, watching which will fit perfectly into the party program. You can start with the full-length anime of Hayao Miyazaki, and then just move on to films about Japan - like Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation or Memoirs of a Geisha. For the most daring, there are crazy Japanese shows where participants try to either eat noodles inside a spinning washing machine or throw a cockroach into their opponent’s mouth. Well, for intellectual relaxation - reading haiku or even composing them with the whole group.

Leading: Well, here is the long-awaited gift: meet the beautiful geisha and the brave samurai with congratulations for the birthday people

Today it is rare to meet young people who have not yet tried Japanese cuisine. Sushi and rolls continue to gain popularity. If you and your friends are regulars at oriental restaurants, organize a themed birthday party. The main goal of the event is to get acquainted with the culture of the land of the rising sun, and at the same time have fun in a new way.

Preparing invitations

There are characteristic symbols of Japan that can be used in the design of invitations: the Japanese flag, sakura, fan, hieroglyphs, geisha, samurai.

You can use this template for invitations

What to wear to a party

To create the right atmosphere, girls should imitate a kimono, belting it with a wide strip of colorful fabric. Features of makeup: fair skin, clearly defined bright lips, eyes lined with arrows. Men can also wear a kimono, but in a plain color, or belt a silk shirt and wear wide trousers.

We decorate the room for the holiday

Japan has many of its own symbols: from an originally designed low table and ethnic music to a sakura branch and incense. All these attributes will help create a calm national atmosphere; you can hang a Japanese flag and a poster with a dragon. Select suitable melodies here and place a Japanese flute in the background. Arrange the god figures and light incense for the aroma.

We're setting the table

No party would be complete without traditional seafood, sushi and rolls. Check out the Japanese style menu and table setting rules.

There is nothing in common between birthday celebrations in Russia and oriental celebrations, so our script has only focus and thematic attributes.

Nuances of organizing a holiday

Not only the organizer, but also the guests need to work on preparation. Prepare:

• Congratulations in the style of Japanese wisdom
• Postcard with wishes-hieroglyphs
• A gift related to the culture of this country (table setting set, book by Haruki Murakami, interior items)

The organizer needs to prepare small gifts for guests in advance so that they have an item that reminds them of this evening: magnets with appropriate designs, fans, incense, or even a couple of original hashi.

Entertainment

Learning hieroglyphs

Divide the guests into two or three teams. Prepare sheets for the number of commands with images of hieroglyphs and separately with their decoding (of course, without numbering and interspersed), set the task: to match each hieroglyph. The team that finds the most correct pairs in two minutes wins.

1 - love

2 - sakura

3 - samurai

6 - beautiful snowflakes fall dancing

7 - drawing

8 - respect

Japanese wrestling

Everyone is well aware of such a martial art as sumo. So let the opponents meet in battle today and let the strongest win. Of course, we won’t dress the wrestlers as real sumo wrestlers - it’s too cruel, but we definitely need to give some resemblance. We inflate large balloons, securely fix them on the bellies of the “fighters” and announce the start of the fight. Whose balloon bursts first is eliminated. You can watch not only men's wrestling, but also women's wrestling, let everyone take part, and the winners will be determined.

Guess what I'm talking about

One participant says a phrase in Japanese, and the rest try to guess what it means. The speaker’s task is to pronounce the phrase with intonation that conveys the meaning. The task is not as simple as it seems at first glance: the first reading will baffle you, it’s fun to see how the participants cope with the difficulties of the language. Here are sample cards:

• O genki deska? - How are you doing
• Hajimemashite. Before: zoyoroshiku - Nice to meet you
• Otanjo: bi omedeto: gozaimas - Happy Birthday
• Aishiteru yo! -I love you
• anata no kotoga Suki des - I like you
• Mosimosi - hello
• Kampai! - to the dregs
• Kore ga jinsei - such is life

Do YOU ​​know everything about the land of the rising sun?

For this competition, prepare a small glass and pour some sake into it. Each participant, when picking it up, must remember something about Japan (a word, a symbol, etc.), while adding a little sake and passing it to another. Anyone who stumbles or whose hands are full of a pile must immediately tip it over. Words that can be spoken: kamikaze, karaoke, Japanese mother, hara-kiri, origami, ikebana, sudoku, Japanese policeman, banzai, etc., including phrases learned today.

Geisha dance

Let the evening end with a competition for the best geisha dance to oriental music. Let all representatives of the fair sex demonstrate their capabilities, and the winner will be determined by popular vote. If I give a lot, then suggest such nominations.

Japanese style party

We're planning a party.

The party will be Japanese-themed, but all cultural features will not be respected. We chose a humorous rather than a serious approach to the party. You can come up with any name, it is desirable that it be original.

Japanese party decoration. In order for party guests to fully experience the atmosphere of Japan, decorate the room in an oriental style. You can take one symbol of Japan and design a party around it. For example, many people associate Japan with

· dragons, anime, samurai, etc.

· Ribbons for tree branches

· Origami (Japanese cranes)

You can decorate a room with fans, hanging them anywhere, on walls, curtains, furniture. You can make them using newspapers, magazines, pieces of wallpaper.

When setting the table, use Japanese-style plates. These are not round plates, but rectangular ones. And, of course, what is a party without music? You can find and download music on the Internet.

Dress code for the party.

To create a unique image, use a kimono (surely, if not you, then someone close to you has one), but do not forget to remind the guest that as an expert in martial arts, he is simply obliged to demonstrate his skills! This can be a small, short performance consisting of several spectacular techniques.

The female half of the “Japanese team” should pay close attention to their makeup and hairstyle. You should try to make your face as white as possible, line your eyes and eyebrows with a black pencil, and cover your lips with gloss in a single or peach shade. Gather your hair into a bun and secure it with 2 sticks.

You can dress up as anyone for a Japanese party:

· robot, sumo wrestler, dragon, samurai, kamikaze, etc.

The main thing is that the clothing style is Japanese and preferably funny.
Japanese party, scenario in full swing

Use Japanese words and expressions.

Greet guests with a formal "konichiwa" or friendly "ohayu." Raise your sakazuki (glasses) and shout “kanpai.” Don't forget to talk "arigato" (thank you) And "itadakimas" (bon appetit). All these words must be said while bowing slightly.

Evening progress the Incas.

The Japanese are no less hospitable people than us, so first invite guests to the table. Place chopsticks near the plates in advance, but before you start eating, when everyone is at the table, offer to “buy” spoons and forks for all guests, but you need to pay for them not with money, but with your wits. You say some Japanese proverb, and the guests must name a similar Russian proverb. Of course, some guests will want to try eating with chopsticks, so you shouldn't insist on this.

A real samurai

This competition is best done right at the table, so everyone present can participate. Participants are given several A4 sheets of paper (white or colored - optional) and are asked to fold them into any weapon using the origami technique in 3 minutes. Let the guests imagine themselves as ancient samurai guarding the peace of a powerful ruler. They can't do without powerful weapons!

The winner is the one who completes it faster (more beautifully).

Japan mom

2-3 men are invited to participate in the competition, and large balloons are tied to their bellies. Their task is to collect beautiful sakura petals from the floor. Instead of sakura petals, we can have rose petals. (cut from paper)

There should be enough of them to cover the floor. If a participant’s “stomach” bursts “during the collection” of petals, he is eliminated from the game. The one who collects the most petals wins.

Japanese cook

(details – pictures with hieroglyphs, pancakes, mayonnaise with a dispenser according to the number of participants)

Those who wish to participate in the competition are given a sample picture of a hieroglyph (for the fairness of the competition - the same), a pancake (you can use a cake or a slice of bread) and a pack of mayonnaise, preferably with a dispenser. The participants’ task is to copy a hieroglyph from a picture onto a pancake in 1 minute. The fastest one wins!

7) Masaka, or It can’t be! Guests are invited to compete for their wits. The presenter names a Japanese proverb, and the participants must choose the most suitable Russian equivalent.

8. The best samurai
The following props are required for the competition: a bamboo or any other cane about a meter long, and at least 5-10 plastic rings with a diameter of 10 to 15 centimeters. We call several pairs of participants. In a pair, one plays the role of a samurai, and the other his faithful squire. We give the samurai a cane (his sword), and the squire a ring. We separate the samurai and the squire at a certain pre-marked distance. The samurai's task is to catch with his sword as many rings as possible that his squire throws. .

One day in a restaurant

Visited with the lady of my heart
We are a Japanese restaurant.
Foreigners bow,
Like I'm some kind of sultan.

Instantly they bring us to the table,
They serve a menu... it seems...
I looked through it. Slightly on edge -
What kind of cuneiform is this?

Deal with this matter
It seems like I can't...
But already above us in white
The man has been standing for a long time.

Don't think we're suckers
Like a Japanese sensei
I flashed my knowledge in front of the lady:
- Sake for me, sepuku for her!

symbols
The dog is a symbol of the hearth
The Japanese have small ones.
And in Russia - a poker
And a scarlet flower.

WHAT TO TREAT:
You can order sushi and rolls to your home in the restaurant. Also among the treats d.b. Lots of fish and seafood dishes. Japanese pancakes are very popular (we make the dough in water and add all kinds of finely chopped vegetables to it, then mix and bake like pancakes)

The central place at a Japanese-style party should be given to sushi, which has already become traditional for us. Making sushi rolls yourself is not at all difficult.

Congratulation

I’ll say right away that you need to choose candidates for the role of a Japanese woman and a translator wisely. These roles require serious people who are difficult to make laugh. In this congratulation, it is important that the guests laugh, and not those who perform. Another tip: if possible, let candidates read the texts.
Appearance:
- a Japanese woman needs to be dressed (any wraparound robe will do) and made up so that she looks as similar as possible.
- work on your voice (squeakier).
- and most importantly, steps (mincing) and slight bends forward.
- There is no need to change the interpreter's clothes.

Phrases are spoken one by one. First a Japanese woman, then a translator, again a Japanese woman, and again a translator. etc. For convenience, I numbered them.

Before the delegation leaves, the presenter says:

Dear guests!!! Today, on this festive day, a Japanese delegation arrived to congratulate the hero of the day, which was passing through (name of city, village..). But I understand that we cannot do without a translator.

(our guests come out here)

Fortune telling on paper "Love Formula" will tell you what kind of relationship you have with your loved one, what awaits you in the future, what problems may arise between you, etc. The formula of love will reveal the secret of your relationship. All you need is a piece of paper and a pen. Answer the questions below and use the formula to calculate your pair's number.
For this sheet fortune telling, you may also need a table that allows you to convert the letters into a numerical value. Here she is:

Questions:
1. How many letters are in your name?
2. How many letters are in his name?
3. If your name has the letter O? Which one? (if not, set it to 0)
4. Is there an O in his name? Which one? (if not, set it to 0)
5. What is the numerical value of the first letter of your name?
6. What is the numerical value of the first letter of his name?
7. How many letters L are in your names?
Love formula: = (L - 7) x 2,
where L (Love) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 (sum of answers to all questions).
For example Let's calculate the figure for the couple Julia and Vyacheslav:
1. 4
2. 8
3. 0
4. 0
5. 5
6. 3
7. 2
Next we find our result: L = 4 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 22
= (22 – 7) x 2 = 30
Don’t forget to convert the resulting number into a simple number from 1 to 9. In our case, 30: 3 + 0 = 3. Now you can find out what awaits the couple with the number 3, what kind of relationship these young people will have, will they be together?

Digit 1– this is love at first sight, and on the part of both partners. If you are still not together, then think about why? Maybe some of you are afraid to take the first step? It's time to build relationships, and not trample each other's path...
But if you are already together, then your relationship can be called ideal. Although there are quarrels and misunderstandings, these are trifles for you. After all, you quickly move towards reconciliation. Your relationship will be full of passion, adventure, and emotion. You will never be bored with each other.
Both of you are full of ambition and stubbornness, often your couple can be called a battlefield. But this arrangement will not embarrass you, you both like this manifestation of feelings. You don't look like a couple who would sit quietly in front of the TV and crack sunflower seeds. You enjoy the intensity of passion in your relationship.
The main danger in this couple may be the desire of both partners to subjugate themselves to each other. There is no need to turn your union into a pair of doves imprisoned in a cage. You can build a long and harmonious relationship if you live in the outside world and not focus on your partner. You need fresh air that gives you emotions and new knowledge. Don't be afraid to give your partner a little freedom, try to find fun outside of your relationship.
Your couple has every chance to build a long and beautiful union.

Digit 2- a very beautiful and deep union. In this relationship, both partners have soul mates, they are very similar. It’s as if they have known each other for 100 years, they feel and try to satisfy each other’s desires. They live by caring for each other and supporting each other in difficult times. In general, we can say that they exist only for themselves, they do not see anyone or anything. They enjoy living as their couple.
This union will be like 2 cooing doves. They are not afraid of problems and obstacles, because they know that together they will overcome all difficulties.
But some stumbling blocks may arise. Moreover, these stones will be created by you. Sometimes you will get tired of this calm and proportionate life, because there must be some quarrels and conflicts? It is precisely because of the lack of emotional outbursts that you yourself will invent problems and conflicts, just to get the heat of passions. As soon as you receive them, both calm down and continue cooing.

Digit 3– in your relationship there will always be equality and mutual respect. Such a union can be called beautiful. Your love story will be full of pleasant memories - flowers, gifts, seeing the dawn, the first night by candlelight, etc. The most important thing is that this beginning of your relationship does not go downhill. But you will try to do everything not to bring your relationship to the lowest level. If there is true love between you, then you will succeed!
It will be easy for you to get along with each other, since you have common interests and a common worldview. But you cannot say that you are the same, on the contrary, you are different personalities, and that is why you are so drawn to each other. You are interested in learning something new about your partner.
You will never have any arguments about whose opinion is more important and whose idea is better. You understand each other easily, and it will not be difficult for you to discuss everything and make a common decision. You understand perfectly well that you are both individuals with different opinions and imposing yours on anyone is stupid. It’s easier to come to an agreement and live in peace.
You can easily build a harmonious and happy union, but everything can be ruined by the betrayal of one of the partners. Here such mistakes will not go unpunished. So keep in mind that infidelity can put a damper on your relationship.

Digit 4– the expression “together is cramped, but apart is boring” suits your couple very well. Well, you are drawn to each other, and nothing can be done about it. But some kind of omissions and conflicts constantly arise between you. This is most likely due to the fact that you do not understand each other; it is difficult for you to find a common point of contact. You are like a swan, a crayfish and a pike. Because of this, stumbling blocks arise between you and drive you apart.
But after a while you forget about your common quarrels and return to each other. But after harmony and idyll, problems begin again. And so on all the time. You are already so used to coming together and diverging that it has already become habitual for you.
You can build a wonderful and friendly union, you just have to hear and understand your partner’s point of view. There is no need to “sculpt” your partner into the ideal of your fantasies; try to accept and adapt to your soul mate. Understand that for the sake of love, sometimes you have to make some sacrifices and give up your ambitions.
You have every chance to be happy. The main thing is not to forget that you are a couple, and two people should live not only for themselves, but for two!

Number 5- your relationship will be distinguished by special passion, and from the very beginning of your love story you will be so blinded by each other that you may not even notice all the shortcomings of your partner.
Of course, initially you will not care about anything around you - only you two will exist for you and nothing else, you will look at the world with rose-colored glasses. And only over time you will see that everything seemed not quite as it really is.
Slowly you will begin to notice that your partner is not ideal at all, that he also has his own “troubles”. And here it is no longer known whether your relationship will continue. If you can accept this reality and try to adapt to your partner, then you have every chance of being happy. And if your disappointment is so great that you don’t want to accept anything, then the ending of your relationship will be sad.
So love, but don’t forget to look at the world soberly, try to find out more about your partner, find out in advance all his bad habits, so that later all this does not become a big surprise for you. And remember, ideal people do not exist!

Digit 6- your couple will not be particularly passionate and trembling. This is rather friendly love: you are close and interesting to each other, your relationship is built on mutual understanding. You feel good together. Don't expect intense emotions and passions here.
If you like a calm and balanced life, then this is the kind of relationship that will suit you. The most important thing is that you can easily find a common point of contact, and together you can solve any problem. Is this not enough for a happy life?
This is a very beautiful and stable relationship; not all couples manage to achieve such harmony. But it is worth paying attention that in this union small problems will arise. Often this will be due to the jealousy of partners. Both idealize their couple too much, and the thought that the partner is unfaithful brings a lot of quarrels into this relationship.
This couple has every chance of being happy, the main thing is that both partners not only understand each other, but also trust each other. After all, trust is one of the most important moments when building a family.

Number 7– in such relationships, it is very often disastrous that one of the partners tries to show his leadership qualities more than the other. There will be no equality here. One person will lead the whole couple, but will the other partner, who gets a secondary role, be able to accept this relationship. If both are satisfied with this format of the relationship, then these 2 partners can form a happy couple.
Speaking about the positive aspects of this compatibility, we note that both are sociable individuals, they need to receive new emotions, they need an active lifestyle, they are not used to sitting at home on quiet evenings. Therefore, in this regard, they will not have a collision. They will always find something to talk about and something to do. Both partners are devoted and faithful, they will never betray their soulmate. But even if this suddenly happens (most likely due to stupidity), then no one will hide their mistake. They live by the rule: “better the bitter truth than a sweet lie.” You can have complete confidence in your partner and in your relationship. In general, this couple has every chance of building a long and harmonious union. You just don’t need to live for yourself, live for the couple and try to understand and accept your partner for who he is. Don't forget to tell your partner how much you love him and how much you care about him. Don't skimp on compliments!
Number 8- a difficult union, you can’t say anything. Maybe the beginning of your relationship will be beautiful and romantic, but in the future this romance will fade away. The period of falling in love is characterized by the fact that you completely dissolve in your soul mate, you do not see any shortcomings in your partner. But when time passes, you cool down, feelings are more reminiscent of attachment than passion and love, and that’s when problems and conflicts begin. You notice all the shortcomings of your partner, reproach him, criticize him. In general, a difficult period is coming in your relationship. A feeling of dissatisfaction arises in the relationship, you begin to look for other emotions, maybe even in another opposite sex. Of course, you are more interested in starting a new relationship with romance, love and passion than in understanding the cause of your problems with your current partner. Don’t run from your conflicts, you don’t need to close yourself off from problems, it’s better to try to understand what’s going wrong with you. Understand your relationships.
Such a couple has every chance to be happy. You can build a friendly and harmonious union. But for this you need to try: accept your partner for who he is, you don’t need to delve into him and look for flaws, rather look for all his positive qualities and appreciate him. Your union needs patience and mutual understanding on the part of both partners! Remember that everyone has shortcomings, you are not a gift either...

Number 9- you are together? This is very

There are 2 options to prepare dishes according to the theme of the evening:

1. Order everything you need with home delivery. There are no problems with this; you just need to set the table correctly.
2. Prepare all meals yourself. We will dwell on this option in more detail.

It is much easier to organize a Japanese-style dinner for two than for 10 or more people. You can set a table for 2, 4 or even 6 people with your own hands. For a larger group, it will be easier to order Japanese food at home.

What you need to have on the table for a Japanese-style holiday:

• Wooden sticks - hase, for each separately
• Large main course tray
• Small bowls for soy sauce and ginger - preferably for each
• Saucer for mixing wasabi and sauce
• Salad bowls
• Cups with lids for rice and soup
• Large noodle bowls
• A clay or porcelain jug for sake, small glasses for each person for pouring

Objects can be different in shape: round, rectangular, and square. The Japanese love contrasts, so for those who want to maintain the atmosphere, dark dishes should be placed on a light table, and light ones on a dark one.

If you decide to cook yourself, then special kits are sold for making sushi; they contain everything you need: a sushi mat, nori sheets, rice vinegar, rice, ginger, wasabi. The boxes also contain detailed information on preparation, with all the nuances. You only need to purchase the filling you prefer: cheese, cucumber, salmon, eel, crab meat, shrimp, avocado, etc. One set will be enough for 6 people; for more people you can buy the components separately. You can also additionally prepare miso soup, rice, noodles, salads - the ingredients for these dishes are also sold in the specialized section of any supermarket.

Sample menu in Japanese style for a birthday:

1. Rolls with red fish, shrimp, avocado

To prepare the rolls, cook the rice according to the instructions and season it with vinegar. Nori sheets are cut in half and placed on a bamboo mat with a smooth surface. Next, lay the rice in a thin layer with your hands dipped in water and rice vinegar, slightly short of the edge of the sheet. The filling is laid out: raba, shrimp fried in soy sauce, avocado, cut into 1 cm bars. You can add soft cream cheese or wasabi at your discretion. The rolls are twisted so that the rice is wrapped around the filling, they are not wrapped in a snail, the edge free from rice holds the roll together. Then the mat is used to give the desired shape: a cylinder or a bar. Use a very sharp knife to cut into 4-6 pieces.

2.Funcheza noodles

Thin “glass” noodles are brewed with boiling water and vegetable oil. If the noodles are thicker than 0.5 mm, then they should be boiled for a couple of minutes. The noodles are then washed under running cold water. In a frying pan with vegetable oil, fry bell peppers and ½ carrots, cut into strips for 2-3 minutes, add boiled shrimp, crushed garlic, a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce. Then add the previously boiled noodles and simmer a little. You can serve garnished with greens.

3. Sashimi salad

To prepare the salad, cut fish consisting of salmon, mackerel, tuna, scallop, and lakerda is used. Sliced ​​vegetables, cucumbers cut into strips, Tobiko flying fish caviar red or orange, greens, Sashimi dressing. Vegetables: cabbage, beets, carrots, after chopping, wash and leave to drain. It is important that they do not color other products and do not release excess juice. All ingredients are mixed carefully, dressing and lettuce are added and placed on separate plates.

4. Sake or plum wine

The dishes are presented all at the same time, rice and soup should be hot, the rest should be served cold. The chopsticks are placed on a special tray for each participant, with sharp edges to the left. If you go to a restaurant, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules of behavior and eating according to Japanese traditions. At home, everything is simpler and Japanese food can be treated as a new note on the holiday table menu.

If Japanese food is part of a themed party, then you should make sure that every guest is aware of its rules. For example, print out colorful booklets with the rules of etiquette and behavior when eating national food. A large poster “How to use hasi” can be hung in the most prominent place; it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

Japanese style party scenario

Children's menu

If you can handle it :)... I copied this from the website of a Russian lady living in Japan.
I have cooked Tonkatsu cutlets many times, deliciously with the sauce of the same name (available in Japanese online stores, where you can also buy briquettes of semi-finished Japanese curry sauce). By the way, tonkatsu is served with cabbage salad: finely chop the cabbage, mash with salt, season with lime juice, vegetable oil and sugar. You can also add finely chopped cucumber and dill (this is already a canteen gag :))

Wasabimayo salad dressing.
Table mayonnaise - 1/2 cup
Wasabi (paste) - 1/2 teaspoon
Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
Mix everything together using a spoon, or fork, or an egg whisk. Until a homogeneous consistency! You need to be especially careful to ensure that all the wasabi is mixed. When eating a salad, a piece of wasabi that gets on the tongue can greatly spoil the sensation.
The result is a dressing similar in consistency to mayonnaise, creamy in color.
The proportions can be varied depending on your own tastes. Those who enjoy spicy, eye-popping foods may want to increase the wasabi dose to 1 teaspoon or more (depending on how fresh the wasabi paste you find). Soy sauce acts as salt, so there is NO NEED for additional salt. But if you prefer very salty food, you can add more salt. Just try it first.
What salads can be dressed?

Variations that I personally tried:
1. Primitive.
Potatoes, boiled in their jackets - 2 medium-sized pieces
Boiled egg (hard-boiled) - 1 piece
Fresh cucumber - ...to be honest, I don’t remember what kind of cucumbers are found in Russia at this time of year. Assume that there should be approximately the same amount of cucumber as potatoes. Maybe a little less.
Peel the potatoes and eggs. Cut everything and season it.
2. Avocado and shrimp.
Avocado - 1 piece
Small shrimp - about 1 cup boiled (about the same volume as an avocado)
Onion - to taste, 1-2 tablespoons very finely chopped.
Shake the ripe avocado out of its skin and cut into cubes. Boil shrimp (peeled tails) in salted water. Cut the onion into thin half rings, lightly pour boiling water over it or simply soak for 5 minutes in cold water (then, if the stump is clear, drain the water). Mix everything and season. You need to mix very carefully, because avocados have a nasty habit of “smearing.”
To make it pretty, you can mix the shrimp with onions and dressing and a little avocado. Place this mixture in a salad bowl and sprinkle the remaining avocado on top.
3. Avocado with potatoes.
Boiled potatoes “in their jackets” - 1-2 pieces
Avocado - 1 piece
Fresh cucumber - 1 small
Peel the potatoes and avocado, cut everything into cubes or whatever, season and mix. Likewise: stir carefully!
4. Spinach with squid.
I recommend a squid-spinach ratio of somewhere around 1 to 4 (squid weighs 4 times less than spinach). But the proportions can be changed depending on your tastes.
Boil spinach, squeeze thoroughly. You can cook already chopped or chop already boiled. Frozen spinach will also work; thaw it and also squeeze out excess moisture well.
Boil the squid (carcass, peeled) in salted water. Cut into strips 2-3 centimeters long and about 5 millimeters wide.
You can add thinly chopped and slightly soaked onions to “beat off” the bitterness.
Season and mix.
In general, this dressing goes well with foods that have a weak or not pronounced taste. All kinds of seafood are going well. I also recommend potatoes, fresh cucumbers and boiled eggs. I wouldn’t recommend pickles and ham sausage, but if someone really wants it... 10/21/2014 10:02:39 AM, trisch

Let's continue the conversation...
Niku-jaga (niku - meat, jagaimo - ordinary potatoes)
Basically, meat and potatoes stewed in soy sauce. Lots of variations are possible. I will give the classic version and possible additions, there is a lot of room for creativity.
Necessary:
potatoes, say, 500 grams;
meat, beef, 200 grams (no need to take tenderloin, the meat should be a little fatty, take it approximately as for stew or roast); There should be 2-3 times less meat than potatoes (you can have pork, but then it’s not very fatty; boneless chicken will also work). Bones and cartilage are not desirable.
onion, one large head
dashi broth (1 tbsp per 500 ml water)
regular soy sauce (I don’t know what kind they have in Russia, take the simplest one, BUT NOT SOUR!), that. which is fine for sushi.
sugar, maybe a little sake, salt
Any vegetable oil, but refined (so that there are no foreign odors)
green peas, canned or frozen. canned can be used as is, just drain the water; it’s better to lightly boil the ice cream (drain the water too, of course).
Deep frying pan or wide saucepan with a thick bottom.
Peel the potatoes and cut into tablespoon-sized pieces. Medium potatoes - about 8 pieces. Small new potatoes can be whole.
Cut the meat into pieces approximately 2x2x2 cm. It’s better if you can cut a large piece into very thin slices along the grain; the thinner the better. But pieces are also ok. You can also use minced meat.
Cut the onion in half, and then chop hemispheres lengthwise, not too carefully, about 5-10 mm wide.
Everything seems to be ready. Let's get started!
1. Place the frying pan on medium heat. At the bottom - a little vegetable oil, two tablespoons. Throw the onion into the heated oil, and then the meat. Fry until the meat completely changes color and begins to release juice. Here you can add 1/3 cup of sake, if you have it, and stir for another 5 minutes. If there is no sake, well, don’t. The meat should be easily pierced with a fork. If too tough, reduce heat and stir a little more. Throw potatoes in there too. For 5 minutes, stirring, fry everything together.
2. Pour dashi broth over the meat and potatoes. If we use dry concentrate, then you can prepare the broth in advance or pour water over the potatoes and meat, and then pour in the dasha concentrate. The broth should only lightly cover the meat and potatoes. I think two glasses, no more. Follow the instructions on the concentrate packaging! Or try it on your tongue: the taste should be lightly salted.
3. When it boils, add sugar. 2-3 tablespoons. Let’s try again: it’s distinctly sweet, but not cloying, the amount of sugar should not “clog” the taste of the dasha. Close the lid and simmer over low heat until the potatoes are half cooked, about 10 minutes. Keep in mind - the less you interfere, the better. Otherwise, there is a risk of ending up with mashed potatoes and meat.
4. Add soy sauce. Here it tastes like salt. Added 2 tablespoons and tasted. It shouldn't be too sweet, it's such a nice combination of sweet and salty. But the overall taste should be quite intense. Those who prefer it sweeter can add less sauce, those who prefer it saltier can use a little more sauce and add a pinch of salt. Simmer for another ten minutes until done. After adding soy sauce, do not close the lid so that the water boils a little. Then the broth will be thicker and tastier.
5. It is better if the frying pan sits for 20 minutes after turning off the heat to distribute the aroma. But here it’s better to cover it with a lid.
6. Place on plates and sprinkle green peas on top, 1-2 tablespoons per serving.
Variations.
1. Add carrots, 1 medium size. Cut into large pieces, similar to meat, and add to the pan BEFORE the potatoes.
2. After adding soy sauce, add coarsely chopped bell pepper of any color. Then green peas are optional.
3. Add green beans after adding soy sauce. Also without peas.
4. Peel one large tomato and chop coarsely. Add 5 minutes before readiness.
5. Option without onions, but with ginger. You need a little ginger, no more than 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh ginger. The meat is fried in oil with ginger, then potatoes are thrown in and then as usual. 10/21/2014 10:03:48 am, trisch

Well, actually, Tonkatsu
Tonkatsu (pork fried in breadcrumbs)
To make tonkatsu, you will need pork, a boneless piece of thigh, like a pork chop. This meat should be cut across the grain into slices about 1 cm thick.
These slices should be lightly beaten with a hammer or the handle of a knife (lightly! Damn, you don’t need to do this!), add salt and pepper.
Roll in flour. In order to flour something that cannot fall apart (various meats, fish, shrimp, etc.), I usually use a plastic bag. Pour a couple of tablespoons of flour into the bag, add the meat there and shake everything together thoroughly.
Dip the floured meat into a scrambled raw egg, and then carefully roll it in breadcrumbs.
Pour refined vegetable oil into a deep frying pan in a layer of about 2-3 cm. Heat the oil to a temperature of about 170 degrees.
If you have a culinary thermometer for high temperatures, then measuring is a piece of cake. If you don’t have a thermometer, then carefully drop one drop of raw egg into the pan with oil.
If a drop fell to the bottom and lay there for some time before surfacing, the oil temperature is below 160.
If the drop begins to hiss violently and bubble immediately on the surface of the oil, then the oil is overheated, above 180.
If the drop sank into the oil to about half the depth, and then quickly flared up, releasing bubbles, then this is just close to 170 degrees, you can lower the prepared meat into the oil.
It fries quite quickly, about 5 minutes for each cutlet. The finished tonkatsu takes on a delicious golden color. During the process, it is recommended to turn the cutlet a couple of times for even frying.
Place the finished oil tonkatsu on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Using a similar technology, you can cook chicken, fish fillets, oysters and quite a lot of other things.
Tonkatsu is often served as a type of donburi - rice covered with some food on top.
Donburi with tonkatsu is called katsudon.
For a serving you will need freshly cooked rice, one raw egg, about a quarter of an onion and, of course, already prepared tonkatsu.
Coarsely chop the onion crosswise.
In a small frying pan or gravy boat, mix about half a cup of dashi, a couple of teaspoons of sugar and a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce. If there is no dasha, then you can get by with water, then add a pinch of salt and a little more sugar. All proportions are absolutely arbitrary, be guided by your own taste. You can add a little sake or dry white wine (about a tablespoon).
Bring the mixture to a boil and add chopped onion. Simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until the onion is as soft as desired.
While the onion is stewing, beat a raw egg in a separate bowl, cut the tonkatsu crosswise, and place the desired amount of hot rice in a bowl or on a plate.
When the onions are ready, place the chopped tonkatsu on top of the onions in the pan. Warm up a little.
Pour the scrambled raw egg on top:
Turn the heat to maximum. As soon as the egg “sets”, turn off the heat. Don't overheat or the egg will become tough!

Where to start preparing for wedding invitations

Calculate the budget and determine the number of guests

The number of guests is the first thing you should consider when deciding on wedding invitations. The circulation of invitations will depend on it, and the manufacturing and decoration method, in turn, will depend on the circulation.

For example, you are planning a modest holiday with a small budget for 30 guests. In this case, custom designed invitations with typographic embossing are most likely not your story.

Or vice versa: if you are planning a large celebration for 300 guests, putting together three hundred wedding invitations with your own hands will be quite a task.

Calculate production and delivery time

It is customary to invite guests to a wedding approximately 8-10 weeks in advance. This means that you should think about arranging wedding invitations in advance - about 3 months before the celebration. Then you will have enough time to think through the details, agree on the layout, and send out invitations.

Send out preliminary wedding invitations

In Europe and America, there is a long-standing tradition of notifying guests in advance of the set wedding date - sending out Save The Date postcards, which translated means “book the date.” They are sent at an early stage of preparation, when the date is already clear, but the bride and groom have not yet decided on the place, time and other details of the celebration. In recent years, this tradition has been actively supported in our country.

Advance invitations allow guests to plan their time in advance and coordinate vacations if necessary.And feedback on them allows the bride and groom to clarify the number of guests.

Preliminary invitations do not have to be printed: they can be sent out via instant messengers or social networks. There you can also create a general chat for quick and convenient notification about the details of the upcoming celebration. If you are sure that the message will be clear to all guests, you can write a preliminary invitation with traditional wording.

Step-by-step instructions with photos

So, let's start creating holiday packaging.

Step 1: Print the Template

Download and print the petal template on a piece of A4 paper. In this template, all the details for each flower are already completely arranged and in the sequence in which they need to be glued.

To simplify your work, immediately print the template on double-sided colored paper. Of course, you can print it on plain paper, cut out the blanks and then transfer them to a colored sheet.

Step 2: cut out the blanks

• Cut out a blank with petals for one flower. Use a black marker to give the petals a darker outline. This will give the flowers shape and a finished look.
• Number the petals from the wrong side from the left side to the right side.
• Cut out the petals.

Step 3: Glue the Flowers

• On the reverse side, glue small pieces of double-sided tape to the petals.
• Take the petal numbered “1”. Glue a petal numbered “2” on top of it and slightly to the side. Then glue on all the other petals from the kit to form a cute little flower.
• Make the remaining 4 flowers in the same way. We repeat, all flowers in the template are fully formed and ready for flower making.
• When the flowers are ready, glue them onto the gift wrapping.

Step 4: Draw the Leaves

At the bottom of the flowers, use a black marker to draw geometric stems and leaves.

At the top of the gift, glue two strips of black satin ribbon parallel to each other.
