Dear Sake Japan Customers,
Thank you very much for your loyal support of SAKE JAPAN in 2009.
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!
Toshi Maeda
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!

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)
Yesterday, we have received 20 GIFT WRAPPING SERVICE request for family's wedding gift!
Me and my assiatant YUKI san spent about an hour to make 20 bottles wrapped.
Hopefully, people would like the present.
SAKE JAPAN would love to wrap your sake to be used as gift.
Please use this service for your Christmas Gift idea !
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

4.Shironotakumi Kome (rice) Shochu
5.Kakushigura Mugi (barley) Shochu
6.Kaido Imo (sweet potato) Shochu

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.

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.
