Hideki Matsuyama’s Champions’ Dinner big on sushi
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Hideki Matsuyama will carry a Japanese taste to the annual Masters Champions’ Dinner on Tuesday night time.
The gathering, comprised solely of winners of the inexperienced jacket, takes place on the Augusta Nationwide Clubhouse on the Tuesday of each Masters. The earlier 12 months’s winner has the distinction of choosing the menu. Here is Matsuyama’s fare:
-
Assorted sushi, sashimi and nigiri; yakitori rooster skewers
-
Miso glazed black cod with dashi broth
-
Miyazaki wagyu: A5 wagyu beef ribeye with combined mushrooms and greens
-
Japanese strawberry shortcake with whipped cream and Amaou strawberries
That is a powerful lineup proper there, with sufficient nods to Western tastes that only some of the old-line champions will ask for his or her common steak and potatoes.
Champions’ Dinners have all the time mirrored the quirky selections of the defending champion. Final 12 months’s dinner chosen by Dustin Johnson included pigs in a blanket and peach cobbler. Tiger Woods served cheeseburgers and milkshakes at his 1998 dinner. Sandy Lyle served haggis in 1989, whereas Charl Schwartzel provided up monkey gland sauce in 2012. Eating on the champion’s selections shouldn’t be necessary.
