European Sushi Championship Sushi 2024
November 4
Launched by Julien Panet in 2023, the European Sushi Championship is back for a second edition and will take place in Monaco on 4 November 2024. Former partner of the event, Sushi Robots, European leader in machines for Japanese gastronomy, will be the organiser this year. The competition will take place at THE NIWAKI restaurant, the new Japanese destination in the Principality of Monaco.
This championship will bring together candidates from nine European countries: Belgium, Spain, Italy, Monaco, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania and Sweden, as well as France represented by Tino Singharaj, the overall winner of the 2024 French Sushi Championship. The 43-year-old Laotian-born enthusiast works at the La Senne restaurant in Sète, run by a former family of Sète tuna fishermen, serving products from the family catch.
Two tests to decide between the candidates
To begin with, there will be a preparatory round (60 minutes) in which the chefs will have to prepare and present to the jury the raw materials they will be using in the next round. Note that the fish will have to be cut into saku.
Then comes the creative round (60 minutes), the most decisive part of the competition to decide the winner. The chefs will have to propose 40 to 50 pieces of sushi on one or more plates, including nigiri, maki, uramaki, kazari-maki, kazari-sushi, vegetarian sushi and 15 pieces of sashimi.
