アメリカからのお客様が司牡丹酒蔵見学ぜよ!
10月29日(土)は、アメリカからのお客様10名が、司牡丹の酒蔵見学にいらっしゃったがやき。
この前夜に「花鶴」さん(
http://www.hotpepper.jp/strJ000550804/)にて一緒に飲まいていただいた(
昨日のブログ参照)、マイケル・ジャクソン「This is it」やビヨンセのCDデザインをされた高知県出身デザイナーの中鉢さんと、その旦那様になられる米国西本貿易株式会社ラスベガス支店長の上野さん、この2人のキューピッド役を果たされた「酒ディスカバリーズ」(
http://www.sakediscoveries.com/)の新川社長さん、2007年度「酒サムライ」の称号を持つ「アーバン・サケ・ドットコム」(
http://www.urbansake.com/)のティモシー・サリバンさんの4名と、新たにご友人の方々6名も加わってのご来社やったがよ。
この翌日の10月30日(日)に、高知の三翠園にて司牡丹の鏡開きで結婚式を挙げられる上野さんと中鉢さんのお祝いに駆けつけた皆さんが、酒蔵見学に来られたっちゅう訳ながやき。
まずはJR佐川駅に13時前に皆さんが到着され、ワシがお出迎え。
佐川駅から徒歩で司牡丹までご案内ながよ。
旧国道沿いに建つ、江戸時代末期、約180年ばあ前の白壁の酒蔵を見られ、皆さん「WOW!」と感嘆の声をあげられ、写真を撮りまくりやったがやき。
その後は、司牡丹事務所横の玄関に飾られちゅう「酒林(さかばやし)」の下で記念撮影。
「酒林」は「栄える」に通じるき、こぢゃんと縁起がえいがぜよ!
司牡丹の「酒林」は、毎年新酒の第1号が搾られる頃に、緑色の新しいもんが作られ、玄関に吊るされるがやけんど、この日はちょうどその新しい「酒林」を作り始めた日やって、ちくと皆さんにその「酒林」づくりも見学していただいたがよ。
2トン車満載+αの大量の杉の葉を、キレイに1本1本取り分けて、枝を削る作業は、ある意味で酒造りよりか大変ながやき。
大小2つのワラの芯に、杉の葉をビッチリ突き刺していき、それを最後に丸う刈って、大小2つの「酒林」が完成するがよ。
滅多に見学することらあできん「酒林」づくりシーンに、既に30蔵以上は見学されちゅうティモシーさんも新川さんも、「初めて見ました!」と大感激やったがやき。
続いては「司牡丹・酒ギャラリー ほてい」の座敷にて、いろんな資料らあもお渡しして、「司牡丹・吟醸酒のできるまで」のビデオをご覧いただいたがよ。
新川さんとティモシーさんと上野さん以外の方々は皆さん日本酒の知識はほとんどないし、日本語も分からん方も何名かおられたけんど、ティモシーさんらあがキッチリ通訳してくださり、皆さんある程度はご理解いただけたようながやき。
お次は、最初にご覧いただいた江戸時代末期建造の白壁の酒蔵の中へ。
その梁の大きさや風雪に耐えた佇まい、そして低温にてひっそりと熟成されゆう何本もの貯蔵タンクがズラリと並ぶ姿に、皆さんまたまた感嘆の声ながよ。
その後は、新蔵「平成蔵」へ。
歴史ある白壁蔵とうって変わって、今度は最新鋭の機械が並ぶ「平成蔵」とのギャップに、皆さん目を丸うされちょったがやき。
手洗いよりか誤差ものうて素晴らしい洗米ができる洗米機や、伝統の手づくり「蓋麹法」並みの高品質の麹づくりが可能になるゴアテックスを使用した完全無通風制御製麹機、1本1本理想的な温度管理が可能な「酒母室」らあを見学していただき、司牡丹の高品質の酒造りにかける情熱は、皆さんにシッカリ伝わったと思うがよ。
その後は、まだ仕込みは始まってないけんど、小さめのタンクが並ぶ吟醸酒の仕込み蔵にもご案内さいてもうたがやき。
続いては、お待たせしましたの、テイスティングタイム。
「酒ギャラリー ほてい」にて、司牡丹のいろいろなお酒を試飲していただいたがよ。
皆さん、あれがえい、これが美味しいっちゅうて、ワイワイやりもって、次々と試飲されよったがやき。
杜氏がこっそり用意しちょった、秘蔵の大吟醸酒は、その香り高い華やかさと絶妙な味わいに、サスガに皆さん恍惚の表情を浮かべちょったがよ。
その後は、帰りのJRのまでまだ時間があるっちゅうことで、ちくと座敷にて「土佐のお座敷遊び」のビデオをご覧いただいたがやき。
何でも、この翌日の上野さん中鉢さんのご披露宴じゃあ、「可杯(べくはい)」や「菊の花」らあのお座敷遊びのアトラクションが用意されちゅうらしいがよ。
ほんじゃき、それらあが実際にどんなもんながか、ちくと皆さんにご覧いただくことになったがやき。
映像としてご覧いただきゃあ、「可杯」も「菊の花」も、何とのう皆さんにもご理解いただけたようで、爆笑されよったがよ。
こうして16時過ぎ、じっくりご案内さいてもうた司牡丹の酒蔵見学は、無事終了したがやき。
皆さん、わざわざアメリカからお越しいただき、まっことありがとうございました。
そして、上野さん中鉢さん、翌日の結婚式ご披露宴が、素晴らしいもんになられますよう、心からお祈り申し上げますぜよ。
あ、そうそう。帰りにティモシーさんから酒瓶チョコを、中鉢さんからは「中鉢デザインCDコレクション」をお土産にいただいてしもうたがよ。
ビヨンセはCDプラスDVDもあって、それ以外にも、ブルース・スプリングスティーンやエアロスミス、マイルス・デイビスらあのCDもあり、これらあが全部高知出身の中鉢さんデザインかと思うたら、何かワシまで誇らしい気持ちになるがやき。
中鉢さんのお母さんが彼女のデザインしたCDを探すに、アーティスト名を「中鉢富砂子」で探しまわったっちゅう微笑ましいエピソードは、こぢゃんと笑わいてもうたがよ。
中鉢さん、おまさんと同じ土佐に生まれたことが誇らしゅうなる、素晴らしい「CDコレクション」、まっことありがとうございました。
そして、上野さん中鉢さんの末永いお幸せを、心からお祈り申し上げますぜよ。

さっき、sake discoveriesのfacebookページを見たら、この見学の写真が53枚も載っていたのでともだちでシェアしました。
けんご@異骨相さん、コメントありがとうぜよ!
新川さんのFacebookの司牡丹画像のシェア、重ねて御礼申し上げます。やっぱしワシもそろそろFacebookやらにゃあイカンのう。
facebookは、場合によっては書き込みなしでいいね!とかシェア機能だけに設定できるのでいいのではないですか?週末こちら最大の日系ストア宇和島屋に行ったら、ゆず生絞りが陳列の一番高い位置に売ってました。一瓶37ドルですから3千円ぐらいでしょうか。この週末10日にシェラトンで日本酒展がありますね。
けんご@異骨相さん、コメントありがとうぜよ!
また、いろいろ情報提供、感謝感謝ながやき。10日の会も、参加されるがでしたら、またいろいろ教えてくださいや!
すいません。10日の会は役所の枠で行くとただなのですが、呑み助になると女性の上司からお小言を食らうのでいけませんでした。部下が行ったのであとで報告しますね。ところで、こちらで山本一力さんの竜馬とジョン万次郎の新作を読んでますが、よく司牡丹が出てきますね。あと、架空の伽羅ですが、竹村なんとかという登場人物も出てきますね。こちらシアトルは日系人の歴史も古いので薀蓄が深い人が多いです。ではまた。
けんご@異骨相さん、コメントありがとうぜよ!
またこの度は、わざわざウチの山柚子搾りの掲載されちゅう冊子をお送りいただき、重ねて御礼申し上げます。どーゆうわけか「生柚子搾り」になっちょったけんど。
しかし女性が上司たぁ何かと大変ですのう。「山柚子搾り」でも飲まいて、ご機嫌とっちゃってつかあさい!
ところで一力さんの龍馬とジョン万はワシも読んだけんど、どこに竹村っちゅうキャラが出ちょっつろう?気づきませんでしたが?
すいません、さっき見返しましたが、竜馬版に佐川茶を飲む竹兵衛というキャラがいましたね。でも、すべて出るお酒が司牡丹ちうのが脚色でしょうか。まだ、山ゆず絞りは宇和島やにありました。やはり、ゆずが山で取れることより生絞りの印象が先にあったからでしょうか?年明けの休暇でNYに行こうと考えてますが、フェアヘブンの万次郎記念館に行きたくなりました。ここの宇和島屋の由来はどうやら創業者が宇和町の旅館で働いたことがあることから来たようです。こちらでも一ノ蔵はじめ東北のお酒はよく売れますよ。高知県移民もちらほらいて、高知のお酒で肝臓を洗うかという話は時々出ます。
けんご@異骨相さん、コメントありがとうぜよ!
なるほど、佐川茶を飲む竹兵衛たぁ、気づかんかったがやき。
是非高知出身の皆さんに、司牡丹のお酒や山柚子搾りで肝臓を洗うようにお薦めくださいや!

go to the Crafting Guild south-west of Falador, wearing your brown apron. You will be able to get inside. Then, mine gold ores until your inventory is full. There are many players there so be sure to be in a less populated world. After, go to Falador and put all the gold ores in the bank. Go back to the Crafting Guild and repeat over and over again until you have at least over 100 gold ores in your bank. Then go to the Grand Exchange and sell everything.
