Au sujet de « Monaco saké award »

« Monaco saké award » est un concours de saké organisé pour les échanges culturels entre Monaco et le Japon.
À Monaco, où les célébrités se réunissent du monde entier, nous choisissons un saké que tout le monde peuve apprécier.

Monaco, joyau de la Méditerranée, est riche en fruits de mer, tout comme le Japon.
Et il est fortement influencé par la culture culinaire de la France et de l'Italie voisines.
Quel est le mariage du saké et du mets de Monaco ?
Ce concours s’intéresse, en même temps, au mariage des ingrédients et du saké.
Quel type de saké les monégasques choisissent-ils ?
Cet intérêt sera répercuté sur la brassagerie, et sera profité lors du prochain brassage.

Le saké est un cristal de la culture japonaise.
Nous nous efforçons de faire du saké un pont d'amitié.
« Kanpaï ! »(A votre santé !)

Les juges sont des connaisseurs résidant à Monaco.
Le jugement a été fait par la royauté monégasque, le président du Parlement, le chef de la cour et les sommeliers des meilleurs hôtels et restaurants de Monaco.

The Barbagiuan is a traditional dish and every family has a special recipe of their own. It is stuffed with Swiss chard and ricotta, amongst other ingredients. With the Monegasque traditional cuisine, the Mediterranean influence is dominant and very popular. I am very excited to discover the Macanese cuisine and talk to chefs in these regions.
