It is my big pleasure to know that Japanese Sake has been getting more & more popular in Australia these days and Sake Japan is getting more popular here.
I promise you that I will continue to intorduce you more of great sake products directly imported from Japanese local sake breweries. Of course, I will try all my best to give you the most reasonable price as always.
We are planning to have more sake tasting events all around Australia this year including KIKIZAKE tasting event for general people (late Jan / TBA) and annual event GOOD FOOD & WINE SHOW 2010 in Melb, Sydney, Brisbane & possibily Adelaide for the first time!
Also, I will introduce more of Sake Cocktail Recipe on this Sake Master Blog for you to try more Sake Cocktails easily at home.
I wish your continuous support for Sake Japan in this new year 2010.
Thank you very much.
Akemashite Omedeto Gozaimasu!

Finally, today is the last day of 2009. I am scared to recognize how quick time goes by recently..
Looking back to 2009, it was very exciting year for me. It was the second year for Sake Japan as well as my restaurant Maedaya so me and my team have tried a lot of new things for good.
TOP 3 THINGS HAPPENED TO ME THIS YEAR
1: TOSHI MAEDA BEING ON A COVER OF THE AGE & EPICURE (I can't help it..)
2: KIKIZAKE SAKE TASTING EVENT VOL.1 & 2 (Thank you , Andre san !)
3: I AM BECOMING A DAD (Due in April !)
TOP 3 SAKE I MET THIS YEAR
1: KOSHINOHATSUUME KARAKUCHI HONJOZO HACHIKARA (On sale in January 2010)
2: IPPONGI JUNMAI GINJO YUKI (Just like snow melting on your palate.. It's BEAUTIFUL!)
3: KAMOSHIBITO KUHEIJI JUNMAI GINJO OMACHI (Thank you Hiro san for the introduction. It was a total new sensation! Hopefully one day we would get imported from Nagoya, Japan!)
At the end, I would like to send
A BIG THANK YOU to veryone who have been supporting SAKE JAPAN & MAEDAYA through a year. Without your support, I won't be here as what I am now.
I promise I will keep trying my best to introduce a new world of Japanese Sake to you in next coming year as well.
HONNENMO OSEWANINARIMASHITA. DOZO YOI OTOSHIO!
Toshi Maeda (Sake Japan) 31/12/2009
Sake Japan has been super busy since we started FREE DELIVERY service from 1 Nov. (Please note the special offer ends 20 Dec @11:59pm)

Last Saturday afternoon, we had a sake & shochu tasting event at CARWYN CELLARS in Thornbury, Victoria.
We had 13 people attended the event and we tasted 3 Sake, 3 Shochu & 1 Umeshu along with a Sake & Shochu lecture.
Sake Tasting List @Carwyn Cellars
1.Kizakura Kuranouta Junmai
2.Ranman Ginjo Reiryo
3.Kizakura Yamahai Jikomi
4.Shironotakumi Kome (rice) Shochu
5.Kakushigura Mugi (barley) Shochu
6.Kaido Imo (sweet potato) Shochu
7. Choya Umeshu (plum wine)
It was a great surprise to know that more Australian people are interested in Sake and indeed, some of them have tried Sake & Shochu before in Japan or at Japanese restaurant. Another surprise is Mugi Shochu (barley) was the most popular ones out of 7 bottles.
I would like to send a big thank to James san & Paul san from Carwyn Cellars and Keisuke san from Daiwa Food for giving me this great opporunity.
Thank you very much!
