Hiroyuki Igarashi, owner of the popular Manhattan Beach RICE, is an avid baseball fan. From childhood through college he played baseball. A career in sports seemed to be in the cards. However, adult realities and responsibilities appeared during his college years.  </span></span></span></p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/2_0.png" style="width: 550px; height: 550px;" /></p> <p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><em>Yellow Submarine Sushi Surface upon Request at RICE</em></span></span></span></p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/3_0.png" style="width: 550px; height: 550px;" /></p> <p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><em>Spicy Tuna atop Crispy Rice</em></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;, times, serif; font-size: 18px;">In both Tokyo and LA, when he was not studying or on the baseball field, Hiroyuki-san worked at Japanese restaurants. In LA, his passion for serving traditional Japanese dishes was sparked. Inspired by mentors like celebrity sushi chef, Uechi Katsuya, RICE was opened in 2012. Vegan friends in LA also motivated him.</span></p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/5_0.png" style="width: 550px; height: 550px;" /></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><em>Delightful (Dairy Free!)
