This event saw the attendance of over 110 guests, including prominent chefs and high-profile executives, celebrating both the elegance of Japanese cuisine and the fine quality of SAKE HUNDRED products.

Highlights of the Event

The event, aptly named 'Extreme Luxury Pairing,' co-hosted by SAKE HUNDRED's distributor Welldone Sake, provided a stunning culinary experience that showcased five of SAKE HUNDRED's flagship products. Guests enjoyed a meticulously crafted menu featuring ten dishes, perfectly paired with:

• - Byakko

Among them, the sparkling sake Shinsei received enthusiastic praise, marking a delightful start to the meal. The ambiance of the restaurant, enhanced by seasonal decorations and elegant table setups, allowed attendees to immerse themselves in the world of SAKE HUNDRED. Each staff member at Inflorescence was well-versed in the intricacies of the sake being served, ensuring guests could delve deep into the uniqueness of each bottle.

A Culinary Journey

Hints of spring vegetables, mackerel in sauce, and gyutan sukiyaki were just a few highlights from the ten-course meal, inviting diners to experience the harmony between food and sake. Guests expressed their amazement at the sheer quality of the pairings, which encouraged them to purchase over 100 bottles on the spot, reflecting the high regard for SAKE HUNDRED’s offerings.

Not only did this event highlight the exquisite nuances of Japanese sake in a pairing context, but it also served as a platform for building bridges between cultures through gastronomy. The founder of Inflorescence, Sandy Wei, shared her admiration for SAKE HUNDRED, noting, “It was an honor to partner with such an inspiring brand that embodies the spirit of filling hearts and enriching lives.”

The Growing Popularity of Sake in Taiwan

Taiwan has shown a remarkable increase in the consumption of Japanese sake, securing its place as the fifth largest importer of sake worldwide.
