Sushi displays

About sushi displays

Even though sushi is now considered by many to be a delicacy, the art of sushi has humble and utilitarian beginnings as a method for storing fish and rice for long periods.

Over time, the presentation of sushi evolved into an art form. Before sushi became so popular, a sushi chef was required to have ten years of experience in preparation before they were allowed to serve their food to patrons. Nowadays, chefs with much less experience are hired, due to the ever-increasing popularity of this culinary art.
                                                                                                                                                                                    

When serving sushi, sanitation is of the utmost importance, because raw fish is the main ingredient. The FDA has even created a bureau to deal specifically with food contamination issues. The Hazardous Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations that were developed set in place the guidelines for sanitation, and businesses are subject to frequent inspections to make sure that everything is above board.
                                                                                                                                                                          Sushi display cases serve two main functions: keeping the sushi sanitary, with the proper cool temperature, and to present the sushi to possible customers in an attractive fashion. By keeping the sushi cool, you ensure that bacteria will be unable to grow. Sushi cases also allow you to keep ingredients separate, preventing cross-contamination with other items.
                                                                                                                                                                       Generally between four and seven feet long, sushi cases can also be custom ordered to meet any body’s needs. The side that faces customers is constructed out of tempered glass, allowing customers an unimpeded view of the treats kept inside. The back of the case features sliding doors, also constructed of tempered glass.

Cases are available that are pre-fitted with air filters and thermometers. Refrigeration is usually provided by a unit outside the case, with the refrigerated air is pumped inside the case, providing a circulating and cooling supply of fresh air.

These units are usually sold separately.
