Japas catering: Japanese style tapas!
A unique style of small dishes that are easy to eat anytime, hand-made and using natural ingredients.
For private and corporate events.
Japas are a great way to fill the gap between meals – encouraging conversation and satisfying your appetite.
You don’t need chopsticks to eat Japas, and there’s no need for formal seating – you can move and drink while you’re eating. This idea is from Japan, where there are a variety of small dishes available in pubs and bars frequented by Japanese business men, who love to have a light meal with a drink after work.
There are more menu options depending on the event. You will choose Japas from this list or if you have any request of dish then we can arrange the menu. (Please let us know if you would like to order for vegan and vegetarian dishes as well. It also can be arranged).
The sample Japas price per person will be:
£17.5 for 5 dishes of your choice. (2 dishes from group A, 3 dishes from B and C)
£24.5 for 7 dishes of your choice. (3 dishes from group A, 4 dishes from B and C)
The price will be for 30-150 people in the event. If you request a smaller number or a full-course menu, then please contact us. We could arrange a tasting Japas to suit your event.
