A tale of two Tamuras with a little Napier Quarter in between… (and full circling with Moriki).
A night with some old favourites… and a new one, as I think I have found my favourite amaro…

Thank you to Kuma-san, Koji-san and the wonderful team at for helping to make last night’s Gozenshu Sake Dinner such a wonderful event.

Every now and then I look back at some of the thousands of photos I’ve taken on previous trips to Japan.
Last year I had the pleasure of being introduced to this little gem of a place thanks to dear tea and sake loving friends, and , whilst in Tokyo for the JSS Academy Course.
Whilst is far more tea focused (and I do love tea), they did have sake on the menu in the form of a cocktail.
The teas were all incredibly delicious, on their own and also when used to infuse said cocktails.
So many places I’ve visited and loved over the years have sadly closed down a year or two after the pandemic induced border closures, but I’m so happy to see this little hole in the wall is still open.
If you’re in Tokyo and want to taste some fine teas from across Asia and perhaps indulge in a cocktail or two, I recommend stopping by this super cute spot.

Equal parts delicious and dangerous.... only because it is so easy and enjoyable.

I remember first tasting sake from Oki Daikichi Honten years ago in Japan and really liking it.

Happy to see that their sake is now available in Australia and this particular label, their ‘Gakki Masamune a ca****la nature’ is now one of my go-to sakes.

It’s a kimoto, muroka, genshu - so, brewed with the traditional kimoto starter method, unfiltered and undiluted, and it’s wonderfully balanced and very approachable.

It was a bit of a hit at this year’s Sake Festival in Melbourne and is definitely one I would recommend to new sake drinkers. Having said that, it also works well with an old sake drinker like myself. 😜

It’s just a good, well made, easy to drink sake.

I think it would pair well with warmer days ahead, orange skies at dusk, and the sound of cicadas.

I must stock up for Summer.

This Juji-Asahi Junmai Kimoto Jukuseishu from 2016 was a delightful way to end the evening at the recent Gala Dinner.
It was a pleasure meeting Eriko Terada from Juji-Asahi (in person, finally) while she was out here for the
I remember the TWTT session that and I did with her back in 2021 with such fondness. It was a really organic, beautiful and informative session and she is such a remarkable human.
Thanks to for bringing her and her incredible sake to Australia.

Paid a visit to today and was greeted by this little sweetheart!

Thanks for your time

Monday’s TWTT was lots of fun and super informative. Tsushima Kitahara shared a wealth of information with a strong focus on Sparkling Sake.
The beauty of this project is that every session is so different, each reflective of the personality of the guest and the brewery, and every conversation always leads somewhere interesting.
I’m so grateful to still be able to keep this project chugging along and forever grateful to all the guests, interpreters, and members of the TWTT community.

It was a joy to welcome back after a little mid-season hiatus, and even better to have .m as our special guest.
Matsumoto-san is always such a joy to chat to.
I always really enjoy these re-visit sessions.
TWTT first visited Tosa Shuzo - Keigetsu for session #35 back in March, 2021… that was smack bang in the throes of the global pandemic and border closures. It was great to catch up again for TWTT, 3 years later, and hear what’s been happening at Keigetsu.
It was also a pleasure seeing Matsumoto-san in person again, here in Melbourne, back in July this year for Sake Festival.
Lots of laughs and lots of sake.
Thanks to .au for keeping me well stocked with sake 🙏❤️🍶
