Reception for “Sake Selection” award winning Sakes

On February 7, Ambassador Hayashi hosted a reception to introduce the sakes awarded during the “Sake Selection” contest, organised for the first time in Japan last year in collaboration with the “Concours Mondial de Bruxelles”, a world-famous wine contest based in Brussels. On this occasion, eight sake breweries of award-winning sakes in each category were represented for introducing their products to Belgian wine traders, food distributers, restaurant managers as well as culinary journalists. In his welcoming remarks, Ambassador Hayashi congratulated award-winner breweries and expressed his expectation that awarded valuable sakes would be appreciated in Belgium and other countries in Europe by a greater number of people. The invited Belgian food and wine experts tasted the highest quality sakes with Japanese food matched up with sake, exchanged views as well as talked about business opportunities with Japanese sake brewers.
