Flash Sushi is bringing the shadowy Japanese tradition of Nyotaimori, the art of eating sushi off a naked female body, back to London until March this year.
For centuries this rare practice was the preserve of Japan’s elite, but has been brought to the event scene in London, with reportedly high demand.

Flash Sushi will offer a limited number of places until March 2010, when the concept ends.

Diners are invited to varying locations at different times of the month. Once you have a confirmed place at the Flash Sushi table, the dinner’s location is divulged 24 hours prior to the event.

All locations are within Central London, and diners are alerted by SMS message.

Between 12 and 24 other gastro thrill-seekers will gather at each session for a champagne reception before taking seats for a ten-course, seasonal Omakase style sushi dinner.

This is a great week down at Mash Towers. After 4 years of hard endeavour, thousands of hours of hard graft and a lot of standing on soap boxes and talking about how our industry needed to change, we have won our first GOLD award for excellence. The ISP Award for Service Partner of the Year 2009 is in recognition of our added value partnership with our client BMT and all of the dedication and focus that has gone in to delivering the hugely successful School Foods Trust campaign.

We are passionate advocates of great promotional staffing, disciples of excellence and real supporters of change through innovation in our sector. We are immensely proud to have been recognised with this award and want to thank all of our fantastic clients, partners who have had the foresite to allocate their staffing fulfilment to us as their specialists and work with us as partners rather than clients, thereby providing the dynamic that has enabled us to innovate and perpetually improve our product and service offering. We would also like to send a huge thanks to our wonderful book of brand ambassadors, our Mashers. Through their dedication and commitment to our business, they have enabled us to over deliver on our campaigns, raising the bar in staffing fulfilment and adding substance and credibility to our ‘excellence in staffing’ mantra.

Thank you one and all!

Slow Down London Week is coming!

Slow Down London is a new project to inspire Londoners to improve their lives by slowing down to do things well, rather than as fast as possible. There are some great events on over the week encouraging people to look at our beautiful city in all its splendour and glory.

The Slow Down London campaign will hold a festival (24 April - 4 May 2009) offering activities and inspiration, through working with a range of partners. It will give Londoners a chance to explore slow music and arts, to try meditation and yoga, to sample slow food and crafts, to discover ’slow travel’ in our own city, to debate ideas about time and pace, and to find our own ways to challenge the cult of speed and to appreciate the world around us. You can view the full event programme here:

The campaign also hopes to create longer-term networks and opportunities for trying life at a slower pace and enjoying improved quality, creativity and wellbeing.
