Sushi Dream Team Event

By Iron Chef Leftovers

If you have a couple hundred dollars and a few hours this Thursday, you can head to the Sushi Chef Dream Team Event at the Bell Harbor Center. All of the proceeds go to the Japanese Earthquake victims. It is an impressive lineup, highlighted by the return of the almost completely retired Zen sushi master Shiro Kashiba, long of Shiro’s Sushi fame. The man rarely, if ever cuts sushi in his namesake restaurant anymore and this is probably one of your last chances to have sushi prepared by possibly the greatest sushi chef in Seattle history. This makes the price of admission worth it.

You really want this guy cutting your sushi. Trust me.

Nancy Leson asked today, “Who would be your sushi dream team?” For me, it would be Shiro, Hiroki Hajime from Mashiko’s in West Seattle and Ryu Nakano from Kisaku in Wallingford.
