Cozy Home-Made Sushi Night
For those colder nights in Moscow, why not stay in and create your own sushi together with your partner? You'll bond in your cozy kitchen over sushi preparation and learn a new skill together.
- Imagine it's a crisp October night in Moscow. Instead of braving the cooler temperatures, you and your partner decide to create your own warm atmosphere at home. You break out the sushi rice and fish, ready to embark on a culinary adventure. As you chop, roll, and garnish your sushi, you bond over the shared experience and learn something new together. After your sushi is prepared, you enjoy it with some warming green tea. It's a night full of conversation, intimacy, and deliciously good sushi.
- To make your sushi night even more exciting, try a blindfolded sushi tasting. One person makes a roll and the other person has to guess the ingredients while blindfolded. It's a fun twist to a simple night in.
- End the night with a cozy blanket fort in your living room. Queue your favourite movie or series, snuggle up and enjoy the rest of your evening. It's a simple date idea, but it'll remind you of the comfort and happiness that exists right in your own home.
Preparation steps:
- To prepare for your sushi night, gather all of your ingredients and tools before the date. You'll need sushi rice, nori (seaweed sheets), sushi-grade fish, and whatever else you'd like in your sushi rolls. Vegetables like cucumber, avocado, and bell peppers make great additions. Sushi-grade fish is important for the best taste and safest experience. You can purchase this from a local fish market or order from a reputable online source. Don't forget your sushi mat for rolling the sushi.
- Set the mood for your date by ensuring your kitchen is clean and inviting. Create a warm atmosphere by using soft lighting and playing some soothing music. You could even try some traditional Japanese music for an immersive experience.
- Lastly, make sure you have a cozy setup for your movie night. Gather soft blankets, cushions, and any other cozy things you can find. You can make a makeshift projector by using a wall and a laptop or you could simply gather around your TV.

Some tips:
- For an optimal at home sushi-making experience, you should follow a few tips. First, don't go overboard with stuffing the sushi. It's easy to be over-enthusiastic about your fillings, but too much can make rolling the sushi difficult. It's better to under-fill and have a perfect roll that's easier to eat.
- Secondly, keep your hands wet when handling sushi rice. It's incredibly sticky and can get everywhere if you're not careful. Wet hands will help prevent this.
- Lastly, don't fret if your first few rolls don't turn out perfect. It's a learning process and it's supposed to be fun. Remember, as long as it tastes good, it's perfect!
