How to choose the best material for sushi plates?

The first option for sushi plates is ceramic. It looks classic and works well for serving sushi. MGVillage is known for ceramic sushi plates. Their smooth and non porous surface allows for easy maintenance and cleaning as food residues don’t stick. In addition, for sushi and especially for raw fish like tuna and salmon, they help retain cold temperatures. The craftsmanship of ceramic plates speak for themselves. White porcelain sushi plates make the colors of sushi pop, especially the pink salmon and the green wasabi. The hand painted styles adds a touch of traditional Japan. For homes or sushi restaurants, these plates fully embody the description, "function meets beauty." They fit every occasion.  

For an eco friendly option, bamboo plates are the best choice.  

Natural bamboo sushi plates are for those who prefer eco friendly serving dishes. MGVillage explains that bamboo is a fast growing, renewable resource, making it more sustainably than wood or plastic as harvesting bamboo does not kill the plant. They provide a homey feel and are visually pleasing, adding to the warmth of sushi. In addition, they are lightweight which makes them easy to hold and highly durable to cracks when dropped.

Nevertheless, it is necessary to select bamboo plates that will stop moisture absorption, to avoid warping or mold growth, which is mold growth which is recommended by MGVillage. Bamboo sushi plates and bamboo plates in general are great for meals that are casual, for events outdoors, or for restaurants that want to promote an environmentally-friendly brand image.  

Glass sushi plates for a modern and clear view of the sushi  

Glass sushi plates are most suitable for people who love sleek and modern styles while wanting to highlight the sushi. The plates by MGVillage are made of tempered glass, which means glass that is strong and heat resistant plus safe for serving cold sushi with warm side dishes, such as miso soup. The diners can really appreciate the separate layers of the sushi and the arrangement of the sashimi and the glass plates emphasize the whole presentation because of how clear and non-obstructive glass is. Glass is non-reactive which means the sushi plates will not absorb strong flavors and odors from the sushi and will always taste fresh. For home dinner parties or sushi bars, glass plates can create a feeling of elegance without drawing any attention from the food.

Wood sushi plates for a more traditional feel  

Wood sushi plates are more popular among sushi enthusiasts because they bring a more traditional and authentic dining experience.

MGVillage creates stunning wooden sushi plates from classic woods like cedar and cypress that have natural antibacterial properties for sushi hygiene. Wooden plates have better heat retention (warm sushi like tamagoyaki) and more refined aesthetics compared to other sushi plates because of the varied unusual grain patterns unique to each plate. MGVillage recommends wooden plates to be cleaned with a wet cloth and sometimes treated with food-grade oil to retain moisture and avoid cracking. Perfect for traditional sushi restaurants, tea ceremonies, or home users that value authenticity, these plates help recreate the Japanese dining atmosphere.  

Melamine sushi plates for economical and efficient use  

Melamine plates are the best option for high-traffic environments like sushi bars and bistros because of their price and sturdiness. MGVillage carries shatterproof melamine plates that, unlike ceramic or glass, won’t break when dropped. They are also easy to hold, stack, and store. Melamine plates, although impermissible with food over 70°C, come in a variety of colors and patterns including wood and ceramic finishes for stylish versatility.

When it comes to sushi spots or family dinners with children, where durability and cost matter, melamine plates would work wonderfully.

Focus on the use case scenario and upkeep when work materials.  

Choosing the best plates to serve sushi on will also depend on how you intend to use it and the care you practice. MGVillage has a philosophy that states three questions should always be asked. 1. Will the plates be used at home or in a commercial setting? (Restaurants will want to consider Melamine or tempered glass, as they are stronger materials). 2. Is your preference a timeless design, or a modern? (For timeless, they would use Wood or ceramic. For modern, glass). 3. How much time and effort are you prepared to put towards maintenance? (Bamboo and melamine are much easier to care for than wood. Imagine a home cook who loves to host dinners, she would most probably pick ceramic, due to its beauty. A busy restaurant loves melamine due to its durability. You sushi plates should address a functional concern, along with a lifestyle concern.
