The Joy of Cultural Appreciation and Collaborative Skill at Sushi-Wa (Charleston, SC)
Description
Within Sushi-Wa’s small restaurant in Charleston, SC, there is a joyful sense of peace, anchored in an unlikely friendship where Kazu Murakami and Chris Schoedler have forged a schedule that allows them to joyfully show up to work and enjoy life outside of it too. This conversation explores the intricate world of sushi making, delving into the cultural influences, the joy of culinary exploration, and the significance of seasonal ingredients. The chefs share personal anecdotes about their journeys in the culinary field, the art of sushi presentation, and the relationships built through food.
This is the season debut of the 10th season of The Southern Fork, and this season Stephanie focuses on the stories of the Carolina and Georgia coasts, a region supremely close to her heart. With its varied cultural influences, it has been an incubator for American cuisine since the 17th century, and today, is one of the top travel destinations in the world. The music featured on this season is courtesy of musician and producer Jimbo Mathus.
