Hello Sake Lovers!

I know it's been a while since I have done some blogging; since COVID19 hit us last year, getting business on track was the main goal to keep it thriving. 

So since then, I have been pushing hard with more events for Perth to enjoy, and I am so thankful for the results. We've had fantastic events straight after COVID and want to share my latest event!

It was a great privilege to showcase a well known and historical sake brand for the first time in Perth. Such a rare opportunity to have such a high-quality sake brand which the whole sake industry knows and where's mentors and evangelist were born. 
​

Daimon Sake Brewery
Widely opened gate "Daimon " Welcome Gate, Forever GateThe Daimon Sake Brewery logo has a large gate as a motif, and
The gate's depth represents the taste of sake from Daimon Sake Brewery, the hearts of people, and the depth of technology.
  • Gate to the world of sake
  • The always open hospitality gate
  • A gate that connects people to nature and people to people
  • A gate that creates and protects roads that will continue for generations
  • A gate that brings good fortune and brings peace
Daimon Sake Brewery was founded in 1826, and is carefully based on the excellent techniques of sake brewing that have been inherited and developed from the Middle Ages, high-quality rice from nearby areas, and the clear water brought from the mountains of Settsu and Ikoma.

Daimon's sake is that Brewery only uses mountain water, which promotes the purity of their sake and is one of the few left crafted breweries that is mostly done by hand and using 10kg rice per batch.

Osaka has a wealth that is rooted in people's lives but has accumulated as a commercial and industrial city, "The Kitchen of the World." 
Daimon Sake Brewery proposes sake with a body that is backed by a refreshing sourness and you can feel the taste of rice with the thought of tradition and innovation.
It is a solid sake that you can fully enjoy Japanese food and the compatibility with world cuisine.

To start 2021, let's have a Sake Degustation!
Special Guest Dan Vovil, part-owner and Brand ambassador of Daimon Sake Brewery, amazing how the sake can connect like magic, he was conveniently residing in Perth.

Being blessed with the Daimon sake series, I had presented a delicious 8-course sake degustation especially paired to compliment each sake to highlight its unique character.

Guest from the get-go was in a trance through every bite indulging with thought and understanding was intriguing to their taste buds till the end.
Sake degustation consists of two different series from Daemon sake Brewery.

​A new Daimon series that colours the time with loved ones, a relaxing space, and various dining scenes. It is a sake that you can satisfy from all five senses with your inspiration, with four unique flavours. ​
Rikyu plum series
Traditional sake rooted in the region

The taste of Jonathan woven over 190 years. Using traditional techniques, we have grown the rich blessings of the earth that rice has into a drop of sake.
The Daemon Sake Series's key ingredient is the sake-specific rice "Yamadanishiki" this is also known as the King of sake rice. 

Yamadanishiki has a unique terroir and as Hyogo prefecture's best-prized sakamai. It is well known for its best attributes for making delicious sake, having great solubility, making it easier for dissolving well in the Moromi and having a large shimpaku, which is perfect polishing.
​

Yamadanihiski sake produces amino acids that create a delicious umami mouthfeel. It establishes a sake with great depth, balance, and fullness and captures a fruity aromatic profile.Daimon sake series creates layers of Yamandanishki from different levels; it begins a journey through the King of rice like you never experience before.

First Course:
Oyster shooter with Shiso Gazpacho hot sauce with compressed cucumber paired with Shizuka Junmai Ginjo sake.
​

​Shizuka junmai ginjo sake was chosen for it's refreshing, sharp taste to balance out the Oyster's flavour. The temperature is set to semi-cold, as we wanted to match the Oyster's temperature so we don’t overpower the balance within the palate, leaving no aftertaste, but you can find a subtle banana ripeness.

The Oyster is surprisingly quite enjoyable I was amazed how deliciously easy it was to shoot it down. The shiso gazpacho allows the Oyster to swim throughout, taking away the Oyster's flavor but not overtaking it. You can also enjoy the compressed cucumber bites to bring some subtle texture as you chew the Oyster; it indeed, a dish is done with care and detail.

It is still important to cleanse your face as you get older, as it removes traces of chemicals from your environment or any makeup which can cause aging if left on the skin.

If your cleanser is too harsh, it will be stripping your skin of its natural oils, and therefore drying out the skin and causing it to age more quickly.
