The Center’s “Tabemasho” Annual Fundraising Dinner features dishes representing Japanese culture and foods by innovative Bay Area restaurants and chefs and pop-up businesses. Hosting over 600 guests, sponsors and volunteers in attendance, the event is loud, social and festive. The event features a live auction, silent and online auctions, sweepstakes, performances and presentations. Proceeds from the event will go towards the development of dynamic cultural, educational, social and outreach programs that serve the 185,000 visitors the Center welcomes each year.
