[Mr. Goshima Shinya, chef of GODENYA and sake master]
Obsessed with discovering the secret of minute differences between tastes and the sensations they deliver, Mr. Goshima has been working on the various possibilities of matching sakes with fine foods since he was only 20 years old. After training at a sake brewery, Mr. Goshima published his university graduation thesis, “A Study of Overseas Consumption of Sake”, which, over the next 8 years, was the most cited article on the topic of “sake globalization”.
Since then, Mr. Goshima has come a long way with his passion to globalize sake. In addition to managing the GODENYA flagship store in Sumidaku, Tokyo, organizing and attending sake tasting events, providing advises to sake brewers and speaking at seminars, he is also the sake expert for a number of culinary magazines.
His vision is to bring sake to the world’s dining tables, which has already come true in France, Italy and other places around the globe. Now Mr. Goshima has opened his door to the culinary capital of the world, Hong Kong, where he is poised to win the approval from the world’s most demanding connoisseurs.
