The Japanese American Cultural and Community Center (JACCC) is pleased to present the SushiMasters competition in partnership with the California Rice Commission (CRC). JACCC is the largest Asian American cultural center in the U.S. and CRC is a non-profit organization that represents the growers and handlers who farm and process premium quality rice used in sushi and many other dishes. A portion of ticket proceeds will benefit JACCC cultural programs.
 
Finals competitors include winners of the three SushiMasters Regional Competitions held earlier this year, including Randy Noprapa of Tara Thai Restaurant in Washington, D.C., Toshi Furihata of Moshi-Moshi Restaurant in Miami Beach, Florida and Hyun Min Suh of Sushi Ran in Sausalito. A fourth competitor will be 2008 SushiMasters State Finals Champion, Tomoharu Nakamura of Sanraku Four Seasons, San Francisco.
 
Attendees of the Finals Competition will not only be treated to a live, 45 minute professionally judged sushi making competition, there also will be the JACCC Food and Sake Festival, including cultural entertainment, a reception-style sample of cuisine from Southern California’s best Japanese and Asian restaurants, as well as sake tasting.
