<Kagami Biraki (鏡開き) is a Japanese traditional ceremony which literally translates to “Opening the Mirror” (from an abstinence) or, also, “Breaking of the Mochi.” It traditionally falls on January 11 (odd numbers are associated with being good luck in Japan) but, in practice outside of Japan, generally occurs around that date. It is generally the first important event of the year after New Years Day. It refers to the opening of a Kagami mochi, or to the opening of a cask of Sake at a party or ceremony.>
Sake And The Sundance Film Festival Photos
My friend Ayumi Sakamoto is a great photographer. My husband and her husband are good friends and both are editors of the movie Blue Valentine. We traveled all together during Sundance film festival 2010 in Park City.

Sake And The Sundance Film Festival!
I had been in Park City for Sundance film festival for this last few days. My husband is film maker, and he edited one of the movies “Blue Valentine“. We had a great party with the crew, including Ryan Gosling and Michalle Williams. It was wonderful night!!
The movie is very beautiful and sad… so real love story. Ryan and Michalle are awesome! They made me cry a lot!
We wish Blue Valentine will get awarded….!

Anticipate the Spring with Nanbu Bijin’s Namazake
Super limited Spring Nama Nanbu Bijin Tokubetsu Junmai
Did you try this year’s Nanbu Bijin Tokubetsu Junmai “First Run” Nama??? Of course, I had it at Robata-ya!
Nanbu Bijin’s “First Run” Nama has just arrived in NY from Iwate, Japan! It is this year’s first spring Nama (unpasturized sake) in the U.S. !! It tastes unbelievably juicy, fresh orange, apple, strawberry, and…..like a fruit basket. The finish is clean and sharp which is a classic feature of Nanbu Bijin sake. Please try some hot Robata dishes with cold Nanbu Bijin “First Run” Nama – you will feel the early spring of Japan!
It’s very limited. Don’t miss it!!!!
