Sushi Platters Facts
We have now shown you our top 10 sushi platter ideas. Before you go, allow us to answer some questions you might still have.
How Big Should a Sushi Platter Be?
You might be happy to know that you can make your sushi platter as small or as big as you want. There doesn’t seem to be any requirement as to how many pieces need to be on a plate or tray for it to be called a sushi platter.
You might want to base the size on how many people would be feasting on the sushi platter and how much each person could eat then.
On the other hand, it might also be best to keep this in mind when ordering sushi platters outside. Otherwise, you might be surprised at how little or many you will get. Don’t forget to ask how many pieces a sushi platter would have!
How Many Types of Sushi Should a Sushi Platter Have?
You don’t have to worry about how many types of sushi you have to make for your platter. You can have as many varieties as you want. As you have seen above, sometimes, you can even have only one kind!
The only thing you might have to worry about when deciding how many kinds to make – again – is the people that would be feasting on the sushi platter.
If you would be making one for a big crowd, you might want to make more than one type to satisfy everyone.
Can a Single Person Finish a Sushi Platter Alone?
That would depend on how many sushi would be on the sushi platter. However, as you might have seen from sushi mukbangs, a single person can eat a big sushi platter alone.
However, it might not be the best idea, especially if it is a big sushi platter.
Also, you might want to note the types of sushi on the platter. As you might already know, not all kinds have the same nutritional value.
Some are pretty healthy, while some are not. For example, you might want to be more careful with anything with eel as eel is high in cholesterol.
