The team at Ōra King Salmon just announced the North American semifinalists for the 2017 Ōra King Awards!
Three of these incredible chefs are going to win an exclusive chef’s tour of Japan. Believe us, it’s not going to be an easy choice. Heck, narrowing it down to just these eight was nearly impossible. Thank you, everyone who entered the 2017 Ōra King Awards, and congratulations to these semifinalists.
Let us know on social media who you think deserves to win!
