The Force is Strong at Blue Wasabi!

- Comments Off on The Force is Strong at Blue Wasabi! -

It’s T-minus 15 days from the much anticipated release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and we couldn’t be more excited! And because we know you love the series as much as we do, this month leading up to the release on December 18, we’re raffling off all kinds of Star Wars-themed awesomeness. For every item you order from our very clever “Skyy Walker” menu, you’ll receive a raffle ticket to win amazing prizes like original paintings of Yoda, Darth Vader and Chubaka, along with Star Wars prints, kitschy light saber chopsticks (you know you want some) and even tickets to see the movie!

You’ll fight your father over the Yoda Roll, featuring deliciously tender tempura calamari, crab mix, cream cheese and avocado, and might even consider the Darkside when you try our Storm Trooper Martini, made with Skyy coconut vodka, Creme de Cacao, whipped cream and a crushed Oreo rim.

The more items you order, the more tickets you receive!

May the Force be with you!

Now This is Really Scary

- Comments Off on Now This is Really Scary -

Blue Wasabi Sushi and Martini Bar will be open this Halloween. For those of you who are prepared to look danger in the face and laugh on this spooky night, we have the perfect bloodcurdling challenge: Survive the Tombstone Roll.

Our hot-hot-smokin’-hot roll is made with Panko Crusted Shrimp, spicy krab and cucumber, topped with albacore, avocado, fresh habanero peppers and ghost chili aioli. This is not for the faint of heart and there are no returns on this roll.

Thankfully, you can attempt to cool your burning lips with an appropriately colored concoction for Halloween evening: The Agent Orange Martini. This refreshing libation is made from a generous pour of every vampire’s favorite, SKYY Blood Orange Vodka, topped with triple sec, and orange, tangerine & pineapple juices. This handcrafted drink is tastier than a plastic pumpkin full of treats.

We hope to see you for a deliciously, daring good time at Blue Wasabi this Halloween!

Blue Wasabi Gluten Free Sushi Menu

Blue Wasabi Gluten Free Sushi Menu

Going out to eat should be fun. Entertaining and of course delicious. Nothing is worse than looking at the menu of a restaurant and realizing there is nothing for you. Lately I have noticed a trend in our guests requests. It started as 1 per week and then went to one per day, then 2 then 5. It seems like everyone is asking

“Do you have anything Gluten free?”

We started to look into what it would take to make some of our Rock star sushi rolls Gluten free. Gluten is a protein that is found in foods processed from wheat and certain grains. Because Gluten is found in foods processed from wheat you would think it is only in breads, but you would be wrong. Gluten can be found in ice cream and ketchup as well.

In order to create a roll that was Gluten Free, we had to first know which rolls had Gluten in them. That meant we had to track down all of the ingredients in each dish. Not Is there Gluten in the Spicy Crab Mix? but is there Gluten in one of the 7 ingredients that make up the Spicy Crab mix, or the 6 ingredients that make up the spicy mayo or  the 7 in the Yum Yum sauce. And what about the Vinegar? Is it 100% vinegar? We had to find out. We talked to our vendors who then talked to their suppliers. Suppliers that were not here in Arizona but all over the world,  Japan, Korea and Vietnam. You would think that a simple

“Excuse me sir, but does [X] have Gluten in it?”

would be good but there was a language barrier.  We couldn’t simply send an email either as the alphabet is totally different as well.  They say “that that does not kill you makes you stronger” and I would have to agree. We spent a lot of time investigating and recreating some of our rolls and dish’s without Gluten. It made us better.

Check out the menu below and look at the delicious Gluten Free options we’ve developed for our favorite gluten conscious fans.

Blue Wasabi Sushi Introduces The Three 6 Mafia Roll

Three 6 Mafia Roll

Have you heard about it? You will. It’s called the Three 6 Mafia Roll and it’s “poppin” more than collars. To say the Three 6 Mafia roll is making waves at Blue Wasabi Sushi and Martini Bar would be an understatement.

Introducing rolls at Blue Wasabi is nothing new, let’s see – there is the Kiss My Bass, the Tail of The Dragon, the Marilyn Monroll, Wango Mango Roll but this one, this one is unlike any sushi roll you have had or likely will have. This one is special.

Think of this roll as the secret club only the “in crowd” knows about. That’s because the THREE 6 Mafia Roll is not on the Blue Wasabi Sushi menu. Only the “in crowd” knows about it – YOU.

If you have watched our videos in the past you know that Jim is always yacking about “texture and flavor”. Well, Sushi Chef Chris [below] has decided to take the texture and flavor thing to a whole new level by adding POP Rocks. Yes – this is the Three 6 Mafia Rolls secret ingredient.

Try The Three 6 Mafia Roll!

Take a look at how the Three 6 Mafia Roll is made below.

 

Come on in to Blue Wasabi Sushi & Martini Bar either in Scottsdale or Gilbert and ask for the Three 6 Mafia Roll Today!

Ferrari – Carano Winery Selects Blue Wasabi Sushi & Martini Bar

The Perfect Wine For The Perfect Sushi

How do you thank your top performers? If you are the NFL you invite them to the PRO Bowl, if you are Major League Baseball  you invite them to play in the All Star game, if you are Ferrari Carano Winery you invite them to Blue Wasabi Sushi and Martini Bar.

Ferrari Carano could have chosen any restaurant, any WHERE to reward say thank you to their top sales performers. Like Ferrari Carano, they wanted something special. Ferarri Carano’s western United States sales manager said he loves Sushi, he lives in California, so he is used to good sushi.

The boys at Southern Wine & Spirits said “If you like sushi, you will love Blue Wasabi!”. They came in on a Thursday night where I took care of them. From the food to the drinks, I took the keys to the castle and ran with it. The only thing I didn’t select was the wine. You see, when you are the Western United States sales manager of one of the best wineries in the country you tend to have a little pull.

What kind of pull?

Well in addition to the classics including Fume Blanc, Sonoma County Chardonnay and Siena, they brought some sold out wines from the winery:

It was a great night, the next time you are at Blue Wasabi Sushi & Martini Bar  you too can enjoy the  Ferrari Carano experience by trying the traditional Yellow Tail Sashimi with Farrari Carano Chardonnay or better yet – ask for the secret stash of Ferrari Carano Fume Blanc and pair it with Blue Wasabi’s New Style Stryped Bass Sashimi or Nigiri
