ICAA Sake Tasting dinner @ Taku

July 29th, 2010

We were honored to host a sake tasting dinner for the ICAA on 29th July.  Although this dinner was semi educational, we had a great night tasting a variety of our products companied by specially paired crusine.

I was especially impressed by the growing number of people that are interested to the background and culture of sake, hopefully the popularity of our national treasure will continue to blossom!

Void Watches presents.. Party @ Square St

March 30th, 2010

VOID Watches is a new, boutique watch brand launched in 2008 by Swedish designer David Ericsson. VOID has a unique design that uses simple yet expressive shapes and has caught my attention at first sight!

It was a coincident that David (now based in HK) is one of our artist friends’ friend and we didn’t hesitate to help throw a party to celebrate his new collection!

Yeh~ :D

2nd Gathering @ 四姐四川菜

March 16th, 2010

After 2 weeks of consecutive sake drinking at galleries and clubs, we finally move back to a decent food pairing session.

This time I have taking up the challenge in pairing with the ultimate Sichuan food!!!

For people who are not familar with Sichuan, it is located in southwestern part of China. The current name of the province, 四川 (Sichuan), is an abbreviation of 四川路 (Si Chuanlu), or “Four circuits of rivers”, which is itself abbreviated from 川峡四路 (Chuanxia Silu), named after the division of the existing circuit into four during the Nothern Song Dynasty. So… what is  Sichuan cuisine? Known as one of the Four Great Traditions of Chinese cuisine, which now is famous all over the world. Sichuan Cuisine is of “one dish, one shape, hundreds of dishes, hundreds of tastes”, as the saying goes, to describe its acclaimed diversity. The most prominent traits of Sichuanese cuisine are described by four words: spicy, hot, fresh and fragrant. Referring to what was suggested previously, our 純米 selection and vintage collection (2 years vintage ginjyou) would best suit this delicious cuisine!

Our pairing of the night:

Appetizer: Bitts sparkling jumaishu

Main: Tokubetsu Junmai, Taiko 2 years Ginjyosyu

Pre-dessert: Taiko Junmai Ginjosyu

*Look forward to our 3rd Gathering!!!!

POW WOW! Day 1 @ ABOVE 2ND

March 2nd, 2010

This 3 part event is probably the most successful event Taiko has ever sponsored.

It is not because of the numbers that turned up but the quality of people that we have met!

Reason for us to sponsor is not purely for publicity, it is the mutural respect that we have for artists that devote their living on paint brush and canvas! Similar to what our ancestors have done over the past centuries in refining the art of brewery!

Special thanks to everyone that has contributed to the event, we shall meet again very shortly!
