OMGD Thailand Sake Dinner

Bailliage of Phuket, Thailand
Phuket, March 1, 2019

At the iconic Boathouse Resort on Kata Beach
" The eight different sakes were expertly introduced by Khun Tree "

Phuket members of the Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs (OMGD) had been looking forward to the next event since the highly successful Gin Tasting Extravaganza in December last year. They were not disappointed by this Sake Pairing Dinner held at the iconic Boathouse Resort on Kata Beach, Phuket, which had celebrated its 30th Anniversary recently.

At the reception the welcoming sake was Junmai Daiginjo Happou Nigori Sparkling (50). Vice-Conseiller Culinaire Jonathan Bruell, Executive Chef at the Boathouse, created a superb menu seamlessly mixing Japanese and Western styles as the menu demonstrates.

The eight different sakes were expertly introduced by Khun Tree a Japan-trained sake specialist from BB&B Distributors in Bangkok. He was ready to answer the many questions posed regarding the matching with food. Members were suitably surprised by the many varieties of taste and styles exhibited.

Events were overseen by Maître Hôtelier Max Chin, General Manager of the Boathouse, and Paul Frankland, who in his capacity as Vice-Échanson is in charge of OMGD events for the Bailliage.

As a souvenir members and guests were presented with a personalized wooden wine box, on the flange of which was printed the menu and inside contained three traditional Japanese sake cups. What a novel idea to cap off a novel, and highly successful, occasion!
