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

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!

I hope to see you there!
PS: To central Melbourne people - Sake tasting event @Maedaya coming up in late December. To be announced soon!
Since we had an article on the Age Epicure last tuesday, we have a lot of new customers at Maedaya. Thank you very much for coming and trying Maedaya! Hopefully, people enjoy our Izakaya style sake bar as a new Japanese experience.
And of course, Always Thank You to all our regular customers who have been supporting Madaya since our opening last April 2008. Without you, we are not where we are.
Now I would like to send a big THANK YOU to Jane Faulkner and the Age for giving us this great oppotunity. Thank you for forcusing on a new trend Sake & Japanese Tapas!
At the last, I would like to thank you to all my staff at Maedaya who shares a passion & pleasure with me to make a great Izakaya in Richmond under a name of Maedaya.
I know without everyone's support, I couldn' make even 20% of what I have done. My ability is still limited and I am not a perfect man at all but I promise I will try to make 120% of myself all the time to simply make everyone happy.
Thank you so much for caring and looking after me.
Korekaramo Yoroshikuonegaishimasu.
Surprise, Surprise!!
Sake Master Toshi Maeda was on the cover of THE AGE front page with Tiger Woods & the cover of EPICURE of 10th Nov 2009 issue. THE AGE had a article about Izakaya in Melbourne and Maedaya was featured as the one with Melb's best sake menu in the article as well.
I was shot with Sake Barrel which my favorite sakagura RANMAN gave me early this year. (As well as 3 Ranman bottles on the right hand top of the picture!)
Everyone, please make a way to MAEDAYA and please celebrate it with me by KANPAI on SAKE!

Good Morning,
Yesterday, I have got back in Melbourne from Brisbane. It has been super hot in Melbourne right now and when I arrived in Melbourne airport, I felt like I was back in Brisbane..
The Good Food & Wine Show in Brisbane has been finished successfully. It was great to see a lot of Brisbane people getting into Sake & Umeshu.
Also, I had a sake lesson & tasting staff training for Sono Restaurant last thursday and soon after it, I had another sake tasting event at Mizu Restaurant. (It was a bit wired that I had to explain Sake in Japanese to Australian. They understand Japanese perfectly! ) we had about 20 people each on both events and I hope people there would understand more about Sake and enjoy it.
I would like to thank to Jack san from Sono for organizing the staff traning at Sono, Chaki san & Mark san for organizing a tasting event at Mizu and Paul Taylor san & Erika san for thier great assistant for GFWS.
I will come back again soon, Brisbane! See you soon.
