2015年11月20日
今年１月アメリカのロサンゼルスの映画のプロデュースを
している方から、メールが届き、今世界中で人気を博している日本酒の
ドキメンタリー映画を作成中と書いてありました。
その中で、お酒に携わっている、登場人物３人の中の一人、ジョン、ゴントナ氏の
エピソードが聞きたく、月末、日本に行きますのでよろしくお願いしますと
連絡がありました。
20数年前、ゴントナ氏はアメリカから来日
何かの縁でえのきのお店との出会い、お店のイベントには、必ず参加をして
仲間との情報を得手たようです。
彼が日本酒に興味を持った時期って、日本全国、お酒が低迷していて
酒蔵の倒産が相次ぎ厳しい冬が続いていました。
そんな時ゴントナ氏が、地方の酒蔵に出かけ、お酒の神秘さに引かれ、レポートを
書いていた時、えのきのお店で出会った、ジャパンタイムズのジャーナリスの記者
に提出したのがきっかけになったようです。
現在日本酒の伝導師として世界の大都市へ講演、酒創りの学校など切磋琢磨しく
活躍しています。
先月 東京国際映画際で上映されました。題名『KAMPAI』FOR THE IOVE OF
伝統的な職人技、日本酒を造る人々の顔
来年日本で上映されます,,,,,,,えのきのお店もちょつと出ています
見て下さい。
15th January in this year, I got email from a movie producer who lives in Los Angeles USA.
He was shooting movie that subject is Japanese Sake.
He wanted to ask me about Mr John Gauntner who one of character of three in that movie.
Mr John Gauntner is one of old customer in my restaurant.
Almost 20 years ago, Mr Gauntner came to Japan from USA by work.
At the edge of something he was coming to my restaurant Enoki.
He always joined Ohanami(cherry blossom viewing party) and other events of the enoki.
He got some knowledge of sake and many friends at the same time.
The sake is very popular all over the world now.
However, many time-honored sake brewery was sluggish when he was interested in sake.
Many famous sake brewery became bankrupt.
Mr Gauntner to went out to the local brewery to write of the report.
The report expressed 'why does he feel drawn into the mystery of the liquor'.
Then he submitted an report to an newsperson of Japan Times (Japan’s most widely read English language newspaper).
He met an newsperson of Japan Times at Enoki!
That gave the chance that he started column of sake on Japan Times.
He has been active in the world in the current as sake journalists.
My place Enoki appeared in the film a little.
Check the film "KAMPAI! FOR THE LOVE OF SAKE".
A movie will run previews at Tokyo International Film Festival 2015 in this month.
