Master Toyotaro Miyazaki was a special guest of Master Shiina and Sensei Riqueros. After the event, Master Shiina invited us to have some Japanese food. He made home made sushi for us. Master Shiina is not only an expert in Judo but a great Chef. We had a great time and look forward to attending next year’s event.
