New CRC Blog- Appreciating the Masters

By Julie Cader

Julie is Finance & Administration Manager for the California Rice Commission, and a big proponent of trying new recipes- especially if they feature California rice. 

At a recent lunch with the Rice Leadership Class, we enjoyed a delightful meal at Mikuni in downtown Sacramento.

When the platters of sushi were brought out, Jim Morris, our Communications Manager, and I remarked how seeing the beautiful display of rolls reminded us of SushiMasters, a series of competitions the California Rice Commission managed from 2005 to 2009. We started SushiMasters as a modest regional event that expanded into a series of competitions from coast to coast. It was a lot of fun and a lot of hard work from dedicated folks in the rice industry and those behind the scenes that made it all happen.

The curtain may be closed on SushiMasters, but the amazing talent of Sushi Chefs continues on.
