Sake Day in 2015

1st October is considered as the beginning of Sake brewing season.

Wishing a great brew for the year, it is called the Day of Sake or Day of Kanpai (= toast).
This year, about 50 F&B outlets in Singapore conducted Kanpai on the day.

I joined a kanpai event at Lewin Terrace hosted by Sake Samurai “Mariko Kiyonaga” and Sake brewery owners from Nishinoseki Shuzo and Ichishima Shuzo.

The main attraction in the event was "Kanpai" performed at the same time with the event venue in Japan connecting by Skype and 8 French finger food with pairing of 8 kinds of SAKE.

Personally, I was very excited to meet Mariko Kiyonaga san. She is a charming lady with a full of passion for sake. Kanpai!!
