The Vancouver chef who invented the California Roll is getting some special recognition from Japan's government. The country's ministry of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries has appointed Hidekazu Tojo — owner and chef of Tojo's Restaurant — to serve as a goodwill ambassador for Japanese cuisine.
