Ever wondered what it would be like to mix your favorite sushi dish with the classic Spanish paella? Chef Hiroyuki “Zama” Tanaka wants you to wonder no longer with his Garces Chirashi. The latest in a series of collaborations for charity, the Garces Chirashi is a kind of Japanese paella in collaboration with–you guessed it–chef Jose Garces. One dollar from every dish sold will be donated to the Garces Family Foundation, a charity benefiting immigrant families in Philadelphia.

Garces Chirashi is served in a bowl, over sushi rice and includes:

  • Head-on Madagascar shrimp
  • Diver scallops
  • Spanish baby octopus
  • Hamachi sashimi
  • Madai sashimi
  • Kurobuta pork sausage
  • Edamame, avocado and mixed Japanese herbs (kaiware sprouts, mitsuba leaf, myoga)
  • Espelette pepper aioli
  • Saffron sushi rice
