Consul General’s chef MIMA Takeshi demonstrated the preparation of ichiban dashi-jiru, or the first pure broth stock, which traditionally uses such ingredients as kombu seaweed and bonito flakes, along with the preparation of sushi rice. Afterwards, the Nisei Week Queen, Princess, and Miss Tomodachi tried their hand at making sushi rolls.
Even with the COVID pandemic, through 2021, the Nisei Week court members proactively contributed to deepening understanding toward Japanese culture. In addition, they partnered with the Japanese American community to encourage and invigorate the community as a whole. The Japanese cuisine demonstration and workshop was held to acknowledge to hard work of the Nisei Week court over a one-year period starting in 2021, and to inspire their continuing success going forward.
