Start with who is eating

Most groups are not one audience. Some guests want nigiri and sashimi, some want a California roll and nothing else, and a few will eat whatever is in front of them. Plan the split first.

The printed menu does not mark platters raw or cooked, and Domo counts masago as raw fish. If some guests skip raw fish, tell the store when you order and they can say what suits them. The California Platter is 32 pieces of California roll.

Plan by piece count

Domo publishes the piece count on most platters, so you can plan by the numbers. The Mixed Combo is 46 pieces. The Kazoku is 40 and the Hotate 34. The Deluxe, Sunrise, Premium Nigiri, Sushi Combo, California and Aburi platters are 32 each.

Multiply, and do not overthink it. If you want a second opinion on the quantities, call the store you are ordering from.

Questions

How many platters do I need?

Add up piece counts against your headcount. Our planning guide gives you a starting number, and the catering planner turns it into a platter mix.

Can I mix platters in one order?

Usually, yes. Two or three different platters work better than four of the same.

Do platters come with wasabi and soy sauce?

Wasabi is served separately rather than spread inside. Call the store if you need extra condiments for a large group.

What about guests who do not eat raw fish?

Ask the store when you order. The printed menu does not mark platters raw or cooked, and Domo counts masago as raw fish.
