Fishers, IN (PRWEB) October 13, 2004 -- Do you have a yen for sushi? Its delicious, remarkably nutritious, beautiful to look at and very expensive when ordered at a sushi bar. Internet retailer, GourmetMagic.com has a better idea -- make it yourself! Our most popular Asian product is the Sushi Chef Sushi Making Kit," says Debra Crandall, President of Gourmet Magic. With the exception of fresh ingredients such as sushi-grade seafood and vegetables, the kit has everything you need to make 125 pieces of sushi and even includes a sushi rolling mat, wooden rice paddle, and recipe book." Crandall continues," the Sushi Chef Sushi Making Kit offers the ultimate in convenience. You might have to shop at quite a few specialty stores before finding all the necessary ingredients such as nori, pickled ginger, sushi vinegar and wasabi powder. And since the kit is priced at $35.95, it is also a great value."

Over the past few years sushi has become very mainstream and consumers have recognized the nutritional aspects of a comparatively low-calorie, low-fat treat. Practically every ingredient used in making sushi has nutritional value. The fish varieties most often used in sushi are rich in B-vitamins, selenium and Omega-3 fatty acids. Rice, vegetables, and nori provide an abundance of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Even Japanese Green Tea, the beverage of choice for many sushi lovers, is high in antioxidants. According to Crandall, Previous generations might have gotten together on a Saturday night and snacked on chips, pizza & beer and played a few card games for entertainment. Now sushi parties are the rage where the making of sushi is the evening entertainment and the sushi snacks are far more healthier".

The immediate popularity of the Sushi Making Kit lead to the expansion of the Asian product line at Gourmet Magic. Crandall explains, We were bombarded with e-mails and phone calls from customers requesting more Asian themed products. Gourmet Magic takes customer requests very seriously so we quickly augmented our Asian offerings -- Japanese Green Tea, Miso and Wakame Soups, Panko, Sauces, Salad Dressing, Asian Marinades, Sushi Cookbooks, a Japanese Tea Set, Spices, Seasonings and a Sushi Serving Set."

A recent addition to the sushi product line complements the Sushi Making Kit. Gourmet Magic now offers a Sushi Knife Set containing 2 Santoku knives, a long chefs knife, 4 sets of wooden chopsticks and 4 porcelain chopstick rests housed in a hard carrying case. The Santoku is a Japanese style knife with a specially designed blade that allows a chef to chop, slice and dice with great precision. The knives are only ground on one side to cut faster and more cleanly. They are essential for the delicate preparation of sushi and sashimi. Says Crandall, Anyone who watches Food TV is familiar with Santoku knives since they are favored by many TV celebrity chefs. This knife set is perfect for home sushi chefs who want the best results possible when making sushi but also need to stay within a budget." The Sushi Knife Set is priced at $53.99.

So... stay home -- slice, dice and roll -- save money -- have fun -- entertain your guests and eat healthy!
