Sashi Sushi Hosts Viewing for Chef Makoto’s Iron Chef Premiere

This Thursday, Iron Chefs and Top Chefs will convene in Manhattan Beach’s Sashi Sushi+Sake Lounge to cook and cheer.  What’s the occasion?  The premiere of Chef Makoto Okuwa’s very own episode of Iron Chef!

On hand to share in the party will be renowned Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto along with Michael Voltaggio, winner of Top Chef Season Six.

In a previous review of Sashi, I mentioned that Iron Chef competitions were nothing new for Chef Makoto.  He’s worked side by side with Morimoto on more than a dozen challenges in Kitchen Stadium.  This episode will be Makoto’s debut as the challenging chef.  Food Network listings reveal the challenge will be against Iron Chef Michael Symon.  No word on the secret ingredient though!

Of course, Sashi is pulling out all the stops for this event with a six course tasting menu ($120) and private viewing of the show.  The party starts with cocktails at 5 PM.  Space is limited but you might still be able to get a seat!  Call for reservations at 310-545-0400 or check out their website at www.sashimb.com.

I’ll be rooting for the home team.  Show ’em what you got, Chef Makoto.  “Allez Cuisine!

Iron Chef America: Synmon vs. Okuwa

Will Okuwa break under the pressure of leading his own team, or impress the judges with his treatment of the secret ingredient? Tune in to see whose cuisine reigns supreme!
