FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
SumoSushiSakeHK – First of its kind event happening on November 23!
(HK, 16 October 2013) Hong Kong's next talk of the town event, SumoSushiSakeHK, will roll into
Causeway Bay on November 23, 2013. SumoSushiSakeHK is a new and spectacular concept
that combines three of Japanʼs most beloved traditions: sumo wrestling, sushi and sake. The
sensational outdoor event will feature over one hundred types of Sake including some that will be
introduced to Hong Kong for the first time; sushi plus other signature dishes by some of the top
Japanese restaurants in town; a robust lineup of sumo wrestling matches. The fun-filled day will
also be packed with live music as well as sushi and hot dog eating competitions.
The event is expected to attract over 5,000 visitors, with an array of booths hosted by many
renowned members within Hong Kongʼs Japanese food and beverage industry. JFC Hong Kong
will be spearheading the feast of over one hundred types of sake, including various award
winners for tasting. Also worth highlighting is the selection of sake brands that are not available in
Hong Kong but will be brought in from Japan exclusively for this event. Visitors can also enjoy
Suntory Beer, which is also a sponsor of the event.
A wide range of Japanese delicacies will be offered from the most popular restaurants including
sushi from Wabi Sabi, popular Okinawan dishes by the EN Group, yakitori from Nan Tei, ramen
from Nagahama No. 1 Ramen and wagyu beef from Asahiya by Wagyu Master. Wolfgang's
Flying Brats, together with Chef Satoru Mukogawa of Sushi Kuu, will debut a German sausage
with Japanese sauces created exclusively for this event. New delicacies can also be sampled
with highly anticipated newcomers Morikawa Bento, Sugo Sushi and Fork-Eat. And not to be
missed, Lab Made Ice Cream will be serving up its most popular Japanese flavors.
Kelvin Ng, Event Director, said, “SumoSushiSakeHK will be the first event of its kind in Hong
Kong featuring the unique combination of sumo, sushi and sake. We are very excited to have
many partners who are leaders in the Japanese F&B industry to champion this event with us.”
