Feb 03, 2024

Tokyo (Japan), Feb 02 (ANI): Sushi is one of the most famous dishes all over the world. At the beginning of the worldwide sushi boom, the treatment of raw fish was not necessarily perfect. To overcome this situation, Japanese sushi experts walk around the world to teach the correct treatment of raw fish, keeping traditional sushi cooking in check. A competition between international sushi chefs to inherit real sushi culture is called the World Sushi Cup. This year fifteen chefs from various regions and countries participated in the sushi competition. This competition was held to improve the skill of sushi chefs around the world and to promote sushi culture of Japan. This year, 15 finalists from 8 countries competed in the event. Judges marked points on each finalist’s creative sushi. The World Sushi Cup evaluated normal sushi cooking while also decoratively creating sushi for each finalist. Creative sushi reflects each finalist’s image and the country’s culture. In the long history of Sushi Cup, cacao-tasting sushi was presented by a Belgian sushi chef. Sushi culture strengthens ties between Japan and Norway. Current sushi treats salmon. The spread of Japanese sushi culture accelerated the export of Norwegian salmon. A Norwegian person was nominated as one of the judges. A Portuguese chef won the World Championship event this time.
