"US-Japan Diplomatic Relations: From Sushi to Security"
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's visit to the White House will be celebrated with a state dinner featuring a menu that combines American produce with Japanese culinary influences, including a riff on California rolls for the appetizer and a rib-eye steak with blistered shishito pepper butter for the main course. The dinner will be adorned with Japanese motifs and 6-foot-tall hydrangeas native to both countries, and will feature wines from the Pacific Northwest.
