Just another one of those tidbits of Japanese culture in Vancouver...
This was bought as a gift for a friend, but I don't drink alcohol at all so I can't tell you anything about the flavour of the sakes made by Granville Island's Artisan Sake Maker. (But I hope that Stewart enjoyed it!) May 23, 2009.
These artisan bread makers were on to a winner at the Porthleven Food Festival - it was literally flying off the shelves! It was only mid-day when I took this picture, and I suspect they sold out early in the afternoon. Perhaps they git a chance to stroll round the Festival themselves later.

"I, Diogenis Papadopoulos, was born in Accra on November 20, 1985 to a Greek father and Ghanaian mother. I have a brother and two sisters. My artwork is a product of my intelligence and it grows from a lifetime of experiences, thoughts and emotions. No one can duplicate them exactly.
"I use acrylic paints, canvas, brushes, palette knife and watercolors for my artwork. I am inspired by the things I see, hear, or come across in books, magazines, papers etc., I feel motivated when I see other great works of art.
"The story of how I became a painter starts at about the age of 10 or 11 years. I liked watching movies at the cinema, and one day I came across a poster advertising a film. I liked it and wanted to have a copy of it, and I thought that the only way I could own a copy was to draw it. I felt the urge to try and I painted it several times but couldn't achieve any good results. I got so angry with myself, broke the pencil and tore the sketchpad. On my way home I met a friend who had a sketchpad of pencil drawings from film posters. I followed him home to and gave it a try. My friend's house became my second home until I was good at sketching. After improving my sketching techniques, I went from one cinema to another drawing film posters of Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Rambo, etc. I kept practicing every day after school.
"After completing my basic education, I enrolled as a student at Ghanatta College of Art and Design and learnt how to paint. That is how I became an artist. My skills have improved through constant practice. I have taught my craft to many people and continue doing so. Presently I teach senior high students pursuing art.
"I think Novica's mission of making it possible to sell my works to appreciators worldwide is the greatest idea that someone has ever come up with. Novica is indeed a home for great artists.
"To my Novica customers, your patronage will encourage me to come up with greater masterpieces to suit your passion, emotions and taste. My dreams and goals for the future are to become an icon in art who many artists of today and tomorrow, passionate lovers and admirers of art, will look upon as a mentor."
China - Southwest China - Guizhou - village XIAO TUO LUO
We komen in een klein dorpje Xiao Tuo Luo dat gekend is voor het maken van mooi naai- en borduurwerk op zelfgemaakte stoffen.
De bevolking behoort tot de etnische minderheidsgroep van de Side Com Miao.
In een klein winkeltje zien we inderdaad heel mooie kunstwerkjes! Allemaal handwerkjes. Voor een redelijke prijs konden we ook voor onszelf een klein bewerkt sierdoekje aankopen.

Handcrafted in our artisan studio located at Railspur Alley on Granville Island, Osake is the first “fresh premium”Junmai Sake [Namazake] of its kind produced in Canada. Fermented from top-quality Japanese sakamai, then hand-pressed and hand-bottled, Osake is left unfiltered to optimize its fresh, delicate, fruit-like aromas and flavours. Unlike premium sakes imported from Japan, which are typically produced once a year in winter, Osake is made in small batches several times a year in cycles roughly corresponding to the changing of the seasons. This departure from tradition allows us to explore and produce versatile wines that complement the varied in-season bounty of our local west coast cuisine-from fish and shellfish in spring and summer to heat-warming braises and stews in fall and winter.
this past week has been incredibly hectic and truly mad mad MAD! what with christmas edging ever closer and me trying to sort out everything before i leave the company AND also packing up all my things to move back to my hometown i'm utterly exhausted!
anyways, somehow i managed to find the time this week to decorate 10 gingerbread houses (with simpler decor than the previous 2 designs) and sent them out to be sold just in time for christmas. now all i have to do is finish packing up and tomorrow i can go for my one week holiday in singapore (YAY)! i'm going to count down to the new year with close friends there while also keeping an eye out for potential places to work.
i've still got a ton of pics left to edit and upload here from my last week at work so will do that once my holiday starts properly. MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone here on flickr!
