 "How To Eat Sushi The Expert Way," will be held on Saturday, November 3rd, 2012, from 2:00PM - 4:00PM, at the Nagomi Tea House, 519 Sixth Avenue South, in Seattle's International District.  Admission is $20, $15 for full-time students (MUST BE 21 YEARS AND OLDER), and discounts are available for groups of four or more.

This is a sequel event to the "History and Culture of Edomae Sushi-From Tokyo to Seattle", presented to a sell-out crowd on September 23rd. Please register early as this event will also sell out.  http://sushiexperts.eventbrite.com.  You may also send in a check payable to:  Hokubei Hochi Foundation, 519 Sixth Avenue South, Suite 200, Seattle, WA 98104, or email: info@hokubeihochi.org.

You may park in the parking lot in front of the building for $5.  

This sequel event will be different format and content than the first one.  At this event, there will be more in-depth education and information about the history, tradition, and culture of sushi.  In addition to sampling sushi and sake, the audience will learn the proper etiquette and the 'how's and why's' of sushi preparation and how it should be eaten.  You will also learn about the pairing of sake with fresh fish, and about green tea.  

Since 1824 during the feudal period of Japan, present day Tokyo was called “Edo”; a bustling city of merchants, fisherman, and artisans. During that time, the Tokyo bay provided a wide variety of fish and other seafood, where many of these delicacies were caught and prepared by sushi peddlers stationed along the walkways of the town.  This style of fresh and local sourcing eventually developed into what is known as “Edomae” meaning “in front of Edo,” and Edomae-sushi chefs today still continue to prepare with precision and simplicity, a showcase of the local and seasonal flavors of the sea.

Thank you for The Japan Foundation for support of this event.
