Special California dinner
Hiro Sone, an award-wining Japanese chef based in California, will be preparing a special dinner Oct. 9 and 10 at his California restaurant, Silverado, in Ginza, Tokyo.
Sone is the owner-chef of the Terra restaurant, which opened in 1988 in California's Napa Valley, one of the world's great wine-producing regions. Since then, he has received many awards, including Best Chef of California from the James Beard Foundation Awards, often called the "Oscar of the food world," in 2003.
In 2005 Sone opened Ame, a restaurant at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco, which was chosen as the Best New Restaurant in the 2007 Zagat Guide. Both restaurants earned stars in the Michelin Guide 2008.
