Embassy Room at Park Hyatt Bangkok hosted an exclusive Mizubasho Sake Dinner on 25 April 2018. This event was definitely one of the most unforgettable epicurean dinners I have ever been to so far in 2018. The introduction of Mizubasho Sake by Mr Noriyoshi Nagai, President & CEO of Nagai Sake Inc. during the event was an awesome highlight that I literally enjoyed. The five ‘Thai-Japanese’ touch courses, creatively designed by Executive Chef Franck Detrait perfected the dining experience. It was a night to remember, a night when western cuisine and sake converged to bringing a heaven-like gourmet experience.
Mizubasho Sake
“Our philiosophy is to produce fine sake which expresses the beauty of nature, and to continue to show deep respect and gratitude for our beautiful land and its precious natural resources through modern technology and traditional sake brewing craftsmanship.” ~ Mr. Noriyoshi Nagai
We were totally impressed with the sparkling sake which was served as the welcome drink before the dinner started. I have never imagined that sake could taste so smooth, light and flavoursome by adding bubbles in it. The Mizubasho sparkling sake has been on the shelves of my liquor cabinet since my first crush on it at this dinner event.
Five ‘Thai-Japanese’ Touch courses by Executive Chef Franck Detrait
“Our passion is to create unique food and beverage experiences. For that reason this menu has been dessigned around Japanese influence. Thai local and organic product with a French flair to pari the Mizubasho Sake collection.” ~ Executive Chef Franck Detrait
Each course paired perfectly well with each unique sake in term of taste. Chef Franck’s outstanding mastery of local produces has made each course in the dinner a pure enjoyment of genuine flavours of the ingredients.
Mizubasho Sake Dinner Menu
Wasabi panna cotta
‘Panna cotta’ – a dessert turned into a savoury starter by using wasabi to impressive the palate with delight!
Saku tuna, jasmine rice and passion fruit
Mizubasho Pure
Mizubasho Pure is an elegant sake with ginjoka aroma of rice and a crispy aftertaste. This sparkling sake is created by using traditional techniques of France’s Champagne region. It’s a wonderful aperitif for this fruity and appetizing dish.
Radish carpaccio, edamame and yuzu condiment
Mizubasho Junmai-Ginjo
This dish was a pure marriage of western culinary techniques and Japanese ingredients. It’s light and floral and matched well with the gently sweet flavour of Mizubasho Junmai-Ginjo.
Hokkaido scallop, eggplant and spring onion, red miso and coral
Mizubasho Junmai-Daiginjo
The red miso enhanced the savoury flavour of Hokkaido scallop, making it more flavoursome and enticing. Mizubasho Junmai-Daiginjo was a delightful pairing. Its pleasing fruity aroma and smooth, light texture was an unforgettable experience on the palate.
“Pot au Feu” Australian beef, soba noodles and Thai basil
Mizubasho Junmai-Daiginjo Vintage 2005
I especially like this vintage sake – fragrant, elegant, soft but persistent. It was a perfect choice for this Australian beef! It’s an East-meets-West dish that tasted wonderful in terms of the tenderness of the beef, overall complementary tastes of ingredients and an impressive use of oriental touch.
Cheesecake, chocolate sorbet
Mizubasho dessert sake
We love this dessert. Though the portion looked huge, it was light and refreshing enough to perfectly end the dinner. The dessert sake was an absolute delight to the palate. It’s full-bodied with a umami flavour that paired satisfactorily with the chocolate-flavoured dessert.
