Ihoko Haneda, spouse of Japanese Ambassador Koji Haneda, recently hosted a Japanese food demonstration by chef Daisuke Suzuki, awarded the 2019 Foreign Minister’s Commendation for Excellent Executive Chefs.

Sampling Suzuki’s dishes, diners gained a better understanding of the hard work that goes into Japanese cuisine.

A few lucky attendees were given a chance to try making sushi, which was a new experience for most. The residence of the Japanese ambassador was filled with happy guests who enjoyed the opportunity to try traditional Japanese cooking.
