Harry Horinouchi, Consul General of Japan and Culver City Sister Cities Committee President Sonia Karroum recently cut the cake during a celebration at City Hall of the 50th anniversary of the sister city relationship with Kaizuka, Japan.
With City Councilman Jim Clarke present, the legend on the cake read, “Celebrating 50 years of friendship: Kaizuka and Culver City,” with filmstrip ribbing. The cake was provided by Cathy’s Cakes.
Sorrento’s Italian Market, Sada’s Flowers, and Culver Classic Cleaners also donated to the event, which featured traditional Japanese entertainment and a surprise karaoke performance by Mr. Horinouchi.
