"Enjoying Sake with Medicinal Cuisine" Tasting Event

Ahead of the “Medicinal Cuisine and Sake Tasting Event,” we held a tasting session for our employees.

While actually pairing Shigemasa sake with medicinal cuisine, Professor Nakamura shared a wealth of knowledge about medicinal cuisine with us. He also took our opinions into account as we adjusted the types of sake used for the pairings to see how well they complemented the dishes.

The power of ingredients, their connection to the seasons, and their effects on the body—
With that knowledge in mind, your usual cup of coffee becomes even more enjoyable and meaningful.

Depending on how they’re combined—bitter, sweet, umami, and salty flavors—the character of the taste can change dramatically. Furthermore, the impression changes depending on the temperature range, allowing me to discover a variety of charms in a single sake.

It was a truly enriching and enjoyable experience that combined “drinking” and “learning.”
