The South Dakota Beef Industry Council is excited to welcome Japanese Chef, Rika Yukimasa, to the United States for the American Beef Journey, July 23-27, 2023. Yukimasa hosts “Dining with the Chef”, popular NHK TV cooking program that airs in 150 countries, including the U.S., where it’s shown on PBS. She has published dozens of bestselling cookbooks in Asia and spent several years in California where she graduated from U.C. Berkeley and gained understanding of the American plate.
Yukimasa will have the opportunity to tour several South Dakota beef farms and ranches, a livestock auction market, restaurants and other key sectors of the food industry that make beef one of South Dakota’s leading economic drivers.
The SDBIC will also host a Japanese Cuisine Meet and Greet event at Sturgis Brewing Company in Sturgis, SD on Tuesday, July 25, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. MT. Food Network Celebrity and Team Beef South Dakota Chef, Justin Warner, will join Yukimasa to demonstrate preparation techniques and serving options for various value cuts of beef utilized in Japan. To round out the night, a beef and beer pairing opportunity will occur with an open question and answer session following the demonstrations for event attendees.
