2009 New Years Eve !

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!
