Last week, I had the immense pleasure of hosting an extraordinary culinary and sake experience right here in Perth, and it was truly magical!

With so many of our locals embracing the "Japan vibes" and traveling to the Land of the Rising Sun, there's a beautiful longing for that cherished experience to continue once they're back home. Many of our guests came seeking to rekindle that luxury, and I was so humbled to deliver.

Beyond the expectation of delicious courses and a guided journey through different sakes, for many, this was a brave step into unfamiliar waters. I understand that initial anxiety and anticipation that comes with trying something new – I've certainly been there at the beginning of my career! But what our experience truly accomplished was helping our guests overcome those past fears and venture in with open hearts.

It's amazing to witness how common perceptions about certain foods can be daunting. Yet, with a guiding hand to share the beauty that lies beyond that fear, enlightenment and amazement reveal hidden gems and truly immersive experiences. Our guests anticipated something amazing from the get-go, with excitement building for weeks after seeing the menu. While some might feel overwhelmed by unique ingredients, it's the true adventurers who step up and witness the magic when sake and the culinary world unite.

As I always say, this isn't just food and sake; it's an immersive journey that serves as a gateway to Japan itself. Throughout the night, I was met with laughter, shared stories of travels, and humble smiles of satisfaction as each dish and sake pairing joined as one. The venue's ambiance perfectly set the mood, creating a truly luxurious VIP experience.

It was everything I set out for it to be, and I am incredibly humbled and grateful to my guests who were open to witnessing this magic and diving into the world of sake and culinary art. Thank you for making it such an unforgettable night!

In today's fiercely competitive dining landscape, your restaurant is likely incurring a hidden cost you might not even recognize. It's not on your balance sheet, but it's impacting your bottom line every single day. This cost stems directly from the untapped abilities of your front-of-house (FOH) team.

And frankly, after countless recent conversations and meetings with fellow restaurateurs in the industry, I'm continually surprised by how easily some overlook the undeniable power and importance of a truly knowledgeable, trained, and upskilled FOH team, and why investing in them is not just an expense, but the most direct path to unlocking significant, sustainable growth.

Think about it: Your servers, bartenders, and hosts are the direct link between your exquisite menu and your guests. They're your restaurant's most valuable asset for upsells, enhanced experiences, and building loyalty. Yet, if their expertise extends only to what's explicitly on the menu, without deeper insights into unique offerings like diverse wine regions, craft spirits, or, notably, sake, you're leaving significant revenue on the table.

This isn't just about missing a single sale; it's about the lost opportunity to:

Elevate the average check: A knowledgeable FOH can confidently recommend premium pairings, turning a simple drink order into a curated experience.

Create unforgettable moments: When a server can passionately explain the nuances of a dish's perfect sake counterpart, they're not just selling; they're creating discovery, delighting the guest, and building genuine connection.

Differentiate your brand: In a market overflowing with choices, expert FOH guidance on unique beverages becomes a powerful reason for guests to choose your restaurant over another.

Foster staff empowerment and retention: Investing in their knowledge makes your team feel valued, boosting their confidence and job satisfaction, which translates into better service.

The hidden cost is the sum of these missed opportunities: the higher-margin sales that never happen, the repeat customers you don't convert, and the word-of-mouth buzz that never sparks. It's the cost of letting your restaurant blend in , as society keeps moving forward and customers enjoy endless choices on where to dine, ask yourself: Are you truly ready to boldly stand out?

Embracing the wisdom of "Amefutte chi katamaru" (雨降って地固まる) – "After the rain, the earth hardens." 🌧️➡️🌍 This Japanese proverb beautifully reminds us that adversity builds character and leaves us stronger.

Just like in life, challenges aren't meant to break us, but to solidify our foundations. Every "rainy day" we endure makes the "ground" of our resolve firmer than before.

And guess what? This resonates deeply with sake brewing too! The intricate process of transforming humble rice and water into exquisite sake often involves precise conditions, sometimes even deliberate stress, to develop its complex flavors and robust character. The subtle "struggles" in fermentation contribute to its ultimate beauty and depth.

So, next time you face a storm, remember: it's not just rain, it's the making of a stronger you. And perhaps, raise a glass of sake to the beautiful resilience found in both life and liquid art! 🍶✨

Ready to build your own strong foundations and cultivate new skills? Our July Sake courses are designed to help you thrive, no matter the weather! Check out the link in bio to explore our offerings.

I remember feeling lost trying to navigate sake lists, or stumbling for words beyond "it's good!" when a customer asked for specifics.

The colours of my world now prove just how much more there is to discover, and I've been exactly where you might be.
If you think sake only has one color, think again! 🎨✨

The world of sake can truly open up your horizons, going beyond what you might imagine.

I've been there – thinking, "I should know more about sake, but where do I even begin?" and feeling that pang of missed opportunity when I couldn't confidently recommend the perfect pairing. The world of sake felt vast and overwhelming, and frankly, a bit intimidating.

But I realized that the pain of not knowing was limiting my own potential. It was holding me back from truly excelling in the vibrant hospitality world, and from genuinely appreciating one of Japan's most revered beverages.

That's why I created this. In our upcoming Sake Sommelier course, I'm ready to take you beyond that uncertainty, because I know exactly how it feels. And the best part? My former students – now what I proudly call our 'sake elites' – who were once in your very shoes, are now doing wonders in the industry with incredible confidence and expertise.

We'll demystify every brew, unlock its secrets, and equip you with the confidence I now have, and that our successful alumni embody, to discuss, recommend, and truly master sake.

"It's time to stop guessing and start knowing," you might be thinking. "It's time to finally upskill in 2025 and gain that competitive edge." If that sounds like you, this is your chance. Join me and our growing family of sake experts to transform your understanding and elevate your expertise.

Breaking the Norms with Sake!
Last Night my family had dinner in Saffron Indian restaurant in Inglewood. For an authentic Indian fiesta , as soon as you walk in you are greeted by the aromas of Indian spice .

As this place had BYO guess what I brought? Sake! 🤯 Specifically, my new bottle of Kinoene Junmai Umakara Migawagikari. I was so curious how its crisp, refreshing, and sweet profile would stand up to creamy,spices, spicy, rich, and savoury Indian flavours.

And wow, was I pleasantly surprised! This sake was an absolute champion. It cut through the richness beautifully and complemented the creaminess and butteriness of the dishes. The sweetness even elevated some of the richer flavours – pure harmony! Best of all, I felt content and not heavily bloated at the end of the night, enjoying the whole fiesta without holding back.

Honestly, half the bottle vanished before I knew it, and I felt great enjoying every dish. While leaner meats like fish and chicken were a perfect match, gamey lamb and goat were a bit much for it. But overall, a surprisingly delicious and refreshing pairing! I'm definitely trying this again!

Have you ever thought of bringing sake for dinner? Why not try it!

Our menu:

✨Saffron Special meat platter
✨Papadums basket
✨Tandoori chicken
✨Butter chicken
✨Beef vindaloo
✨Mushroom jhal frez
✨Garlic naan
✨Butter Nann
✨Saffron rice
✨Goat biryani rice
