Québec Matsutake sake with Tamagawa Spontaneous Fermentation Yamahai “3U” Junmaishu. Yashichida Mikuni Karatsu 弥七田三国唐津 shuki set made custom for matsutake sake by 鈴木五郎 Suzuki Gorō (b. 1941). We never serve matched guinomi and katakuchi / tokkuri parings for our sake service but there’s always an exception of the rule. Tamagawa brews the perfect nihonshu that can hold up to boiling temperature and imbue the deep early autumn aroma of Hautes-Laurentides pine mushroom. A warm sip fills us with a strong feeling of the season to come!

Saké au matsutake du Québec, préparé avec le Tamagawa Spontaneous Fermentation Yamahai « 3U » Junmaishu. Service à saké Yashichida Mikuni Karatsu 弥七田三国唐津, réalisé sur mesure par 鈴木五郎 Suzuki Gorō (né en 1941) spécialement pour le saké au matsutake. Nous ne servons jamais le saké dans des ensembles assortis de guinomi et de katakuchi ou de tokkuri, mais il y a toujours une exception à la règle. Tamagawa élabore le nihonshu parfait pour résister à une température d’ébullition et s’imprégner du profond parfum automnal des matsutake des Hautes-Laurentides. Une gorgée chaude nous imprègne d’un sentiment intense de la saison à venir !

“There’s still a palpable disconnect between what Montrealers value and what MICHELIN celebrates. But there’s quite a lot to be happy with in this second edition of their Quebec guide.”

Montreal is better represented by MICHELIN in 2026.

Curtis composers’ orchestra concert 2026🎉

I still can’t believe my first concerto ended up being for my own instrument, Nagauta-shamisen.
Getting to perform it with maestro Vimbayi Kaziboni & the Curtis Symphony Orchestra was unreal.

This piece was inspired by the Zen rock garden at Daisen-in (Kyoto)—a landscape that reflects the journey from life to death.
I wanted to translate that stillness and flow into sound, while sharing the full range and color of the shamisen.

Also… proud I didn’t need to amplify the instrument🩵 Shamisen sounds so rich!!!
So happy the audience got to hear its raw, natural sound.

Still processing everything— grateful for EVERYONE who was part of this journey🖤

カーティス作曲科のオーケストラコンサートが終演しました。
まさか初めて作曲するコンチェルトが長唄三味線コンチェルトになるとは…！🪕ヴィンバイ・カジボニマエストロ＆カーティス交響楽団と演奏させていただきました。

京都・大仙院の枯山水のお庭は、人間の生から死への流れをあらわしています。禅の教えに、「過去や未来への執着を捨て、今を生きる」というものがあります。その絶え間ない時間の流れを軸に、人生のさまざまなステージをそのまま音楽にしました。長唄三味線の音色の美しさや幅を伝えられるよう、試行錯誤しました。冒頭は40秒ほど、三味線のハーモニクスのソロで始まります。

フルオーケストラとの共演でしたが、マイクは不要でした！三味線の底力を感じました🙌🏻

まだ夢のような感覚です。教えてくださった先生方や関わってくださったすべての方に感謝しています。
