Seifuku Brewery from Okinawa Ishigaki island!
テーマ：Apartments33 party!We did the Okinawa event in Apartments33 with the support from
Seifuku Brewery and Mitsukura Foods company.
It was the first time to cook Okinawa dishes for me, so I tried to
start to research what is the Okinawa vegetables and foods for
the ingredients.
I visited Washita shop in Ginza, and asked to the shop manager
what is the good way to express real Okinawa style.

They have so many kind of Okinawa vegetables, but some are
just different way of call them they have.
Sakuma-san is the president of Mitsukura foods company, he sent
us a great brown sugar for us, so I could cook RAFUTEE cooked
pork, and their sugar have so nice flavor too, so I added every dishes
too.
Typical ingredient is GOYA, it has so much bitter taste, so I thought
it is difficult to accept for the foreign country’s people, but most of
our guest enjoyed them.
Awamori from Seifuku brewery is so popular in Tokyo, and their
rich flavor is so different from others. My friend Mark-san strongly
recommended them when he went to Okinawa.
I worried about the strong flavor of Awamori can be accepted
to foreign countries people, but everybody enjoyed Seifuku.
Most of our guests, does not know what is Awamori, so I recommended
to enjoy with ice cubes, and also I said to them wait for 10 min to be
mild. Then every members came to me to say “It’s nice!”.
I think it is very important for the foods and drinks at the entrance.
Also my dishes are so popular with them too!! I think I should have
small restaurant in future!
I am trying to plan for next one already, so see you next!!
Thank you Mark-san to find a great brewery with your Okinawa tour!
