Meikels kitchen by shizuku - The duck for Christmas

He loves food, he loves cooking and he enjoys sake.
Meikel - Graphic Designer, DJ and Sake Addict - tries, combines and discovers.

This time: A tender duck breast with a christmassy, exotic festive salad of golden-brown baked French fries from the oven, garnished with morel terrine, red chicory, hot fried pak choi, pineapple cubes glazed in butter and extinguished with sake on a fresh dressing rounded off with pineapple juice - that's it.
Aside: The Shirayuki Banzaimon, an absolute top product among the Junmai Daiginjo. This noble and fragrant sake is extremely smooth, aromatic, with a beautiful, rounded taste of cooked fruits and has a full body, a smooth structure with pleasant acidity and is long lasting in the finish. A truly festive drinking experience.

Culinary conclusion: 'Fruity, fresh, bitter, sweet, crunchy, soft, cool, warm... This creation conjures up an unbelievably beautiful game on the palate and works sensationally in terms of taste. The menu is simple and at the same time elegant and festive and with this highly complex and fruity sake a perfect Christmas dinner. Great!' enthuses Meikel and wishes 'Merry Christmas'.

Irasshaimase - welcome to the shizuku family...

Mame San - The Sake Flavoured Vodka

'What do you mix sake with? There were many answers to this question, but not the one, not the perfect one. So we 'laid our hands on' ourselves and created a new drop with Mame San, which perfectly combines sake with a distillate', says Marc Nydegger, sake expert and founder of shizuku GmbH proudly.

The characteristic clay bottle reveals the handwriting. Together with Turicum shizuku has worked out a lot. The result is a new spirit that combines the fruits of Tottori with the national drink of Japan and the water of Zürichsee.

Herr Bohne - boundlessly good!

Mame San (in German: Herr Bohne) is a flavoured vodka, infused with sake and distilled from three beans from the prefecture of Tottori: sword bean, azuki bean and soy bean.
The addition of sake - the Inatahime Ryokan (Junmai) of the Inata Honten brewery in Yonago, also Tottori - gives Mame San the warm, round umami note.

'Mame San is a completely new drink, with a taste that you don't know yet, but which still comes across as familiar. Every single bean delivers an unmistakable aroma for a perfect harmony, the outstanding Zürichsee water together with the Junmai at the end the perfect crowning glory of the product!', enthuses Oliver Honegger, technical manager and responsible for recipe development and production at Turicum Distillery GmbH.

Tasty, sweet, earthy and fresh.
Whether pure, on the rocks, mixed with soda water, tonic or ginger brew. Mame San!

Kanpai with our taste-intensive innovation!
Mame San - available as of today, online and at shizuku Store.

This time: Homemade brownies made of dark chocolate. The delicious chocolate mixture with small pieces of chocolate and sake in the oven for half an hour - that's it.
Inside & aside: The complex Shirayuki Edo Genroku, fermented in wooden barrels (taru). A strong, multi-layered Junmai with a long, salty-sweet veil of dark chocolate, honey, yeast, dried corn, lime blossom and wood. Inside and aside the warm brownies a dream.

Culinary conclusion: 'Chocolate enjoyment that is really addictive. The honey-sweet Edo is the perfect dessert for dessert. Chocolate meets sake, two good buddies. What can I say - with a full mouth - that's brownie heaven! I'll have another one right away...!' smiles Meikel and grabs it.

Shochu - The distilled drop of Japan.

Shochu is Japan's second traditional drink after sake (nihonshu). Sake, the Japanese rice wine, is often mistakenly understood as a distillate. But here the shochu comes into play, which is actually distilled and gets a completely different basic taste depending on the main ingredient.

From Mugi (barley) to Imo (sweet potato), Kome (rice) to Goma (sesame) - Shochu is extremely different in its aromatic facets and is suitable, depending on the basic ingredient and type of drink, as an aperitif, as a digestif, as well as an excellent accompaniment to food.

shizuku shochu tasting at Lake Zurich

Marc Nydegger is pleased to introduce you to the secret of this distilled drop of Japan. On his gustatory journey, the Japanologist has been demonstrating since 2013 in a friendly, accessible and exciting way how high-quality and popular Swiss products can be combined with the best from Japan.

His cultural knowledge of Japan and his Japanese language skills contribute to his extensive know-how of the enormously broad and exciting range of Japanese drops. His profession is to show you the subtle, delicate differences and possible combinations and to inspire some to do so.

Let yourself be surprised once again by Japan's art - this time with a fine drop of shochu - right at the beautiful Lake Zurich at the Yacht Club.

Do you love Japanese Izakaya? We also, so kanpai!

To describe Yu-An as an insider tip would simply be unrealistic. As soon as the Japanese restaurant had opened, everyone was talking about fancies like 'favourite Japanese'. Sushi master Ken Groh and his team are not only authentically cordial, they also serve up like that.

Real Japanese Izakaya with Inata Honten at Yu-An

Izakaya is the most popular form of gastronomy in Japan. You meet with friends and colleagues and order wildly through the menu. The dishes are also served wildly and shared among each other. Izakayas are stains in which one eats various appetizers with the drink. And now we turn the spit around...

Because Shinji Tsukutani, passionate boss of the sake brewery Inata Honten, flies from Yonago to Zurich and is looking forward to introducing you to the Japanese national drink together with local sake expert Marc Nydegger from shizuku. Not wildly, but skilfully selected for every dish you enjoy.

A hearty risotto becomes velvety with the perfect nihonshu as ingredient...

Meikels kitchen by shizuku - Sake risotto!

He loves food, he loves cooking and he enjoys sake.
Meikel - Graphic Designer, DJ and Sake Addict - tries, combines and discovers.

This time: An autumnal sake risotto with figs, pumpkin and Bauern-Schüblig cubes with a hint of honey as topping - that's it.
Inside: Sake instead of white wine! Use the velvet, almost creamy Nouvelle for risotto. The floral Junmai Ginjo convinces with a pleasant, buttery melt, with tangy notes of nutmeg, cloves, cauliflower and meringue, a fresh acidity and dry finish.

Culinary conclusion: 'A real moody court. The risotto cooked with sake becomes smoother and simply tastes better. It was a harmony of freshness, sweetness and spice. And the Schüblig gave the whole thing the right kick. Nouvelle in it and with it, worked wonderfully. Simply good', says Meikel.
