Positive outlook: Things are looking up, say museum officials

"lhe ntuse 11111 s 111 bt 11' 1s been a stigtna to the
institution since its opening1 1' 1st yze 11 but as the
museum begins its second year. there seems to
be an air ofconf1d111111e around the home of 17K
basketball heritage.

“It‘s getting better." said (‘yndi Whaley.
memberships and event manager at the museum.
“We‘re just going to keep on trying things until
we ﬁnd what works."

Whaley said plans to attract more visitors to
the museum in its second year include targeting
certain UK student groups. Whaley is planning
on using the museum to play host to social gath-
erings for fratet nities 11nd soto1 ities.

()ther plans to am act visitors include the
possibility of a play 111s 1eunion and an autograph
session.

Whaley said one indication of the museum's
road to recovery frotn debt has been the UK fans.

“We‘ve had more visitors in the past three or
four home gatnes titan at the beginning of the
season." Whaley said.

What she calls "negative press" by the local
media on the museum's monetary woes has actu-
ally been an advantage. she said. by increasing
awareness about the museum and ultimately at-
tracting more visitors.

In its struggle to beat out the bottom line. the
museum has enlisted the help of two outside par
ties.

Both the mayor‘s ofﬁce and former I’K play-
ers have come to the aid of the museum. donating
money. time and artifacts.

Whaley hopes that by bringing in new ex-
hibits and new fans the museum will finally be
able to get out from behind the eight ball.

But. she added. the chief goal of the museum
in its second year will remain the same as it was
at the inception.

Japanese wine finds home in US

Asian delight: Japanese tradition, along with American ingenuity, shakes up the
alcohol world, and makes drinking a little more interesting

By Amanda York
SCENE [000R

The first time tiriftith Frost
tasted sake he fell in love. He
loved the taste of the .lapanese
wine so much. he opened up the
only American owned sake
kura in this country.

“I fell in love with premium
chilled sakes in Japan." Frost
said.

Frost lived in Japan for 1:;
years. and had a number of oc-
cupations. He did everything
from running English language
schools to building log homes to
running a hot springs hotel.

Making sake seemed like
the next thing to do. Frost now
works as the CEO of SakeOne
Corporation in his birthstate of
Oregon. ,

"Actually there are seven
sake kura in the United States

ﬁve in California. one in Col-

orado and one in Oregon (ns).” '

he said. "We are the only Amer-
ican-owned saké kura. The rest
are owned by Japanese saké
kura based in Japan."

Frost‘s dream of producing
sake in the United States he
came possible when he met the
president of Momokawa Sake in
Japan anti the tWo ventured in
an effort to develop a sake busi»
ness in America.

The two did more than just
develop a saké business. they
have literally recreated the sake
business and even changed it in
some ways to suit the tastes of
.-\mericaiis.

Many people consider sake
the "drink of the gods." Frost
said. Frost and his company be-
gan producing infused versions
of sake to make it more appeal-
ing to the American palette.

“We are the first folks ever
to create infused sakes and they
are shaking up the H.800 year
old world of sake." Frost said.

Frost said that many Japan
ese sake makers view his new
invention as "defiling the drink
of the gods."

"'l'o me. I am simply mak»
ing sake enticing for the .-\iiieri~
can consumer to try." he said.

liven though .'\lili‘l‘lt‘t'lli.\‘
may find the infused sakes ap-
pealing. many people said the
new invention will never work
in Japan.

Association of America and

president of ’l‘akera in Berkeley
that makes the Slio (.‘hiku Bai
brand of sake. 'l‘eisuke Kainu-
ma. said the infused sakes
strayed too far from tradition
for drinkers in Japan.

“(irif‘s idea is new and cor-
rect. but unthinkable in Japan,"
Kainuma said.

Frost said the Japanese en-
joy the drink at every major
event.

"Sake is enjoyed at Japan»
ese weddings. funerals and
every other kind of celebra-
tion." he said. “It‘s used to cook
with. to drink and even to
bathe."

Frost said saké is enjoyed
as a drink in Japan just like
Americans enjoy wine in the
LES. The Japanese even cele-
brate Sake Day on October 1.
and Frost said he wants to bring
this Japanese tradition to
America.

“Everyone in Japan enjoys
saké on that day. The Sake As»
sociation of Anterica and
SakéOne are working to make it
a day when all Americans will
enjoy a glass of premium chilled
sake." Frost said.

Frost began producing sake
at his kura in 19% and he said
his new $10 million facility com-
bines high-tech brewing equip-
tnent with that of ageeld brew-
ing techniques from
Milliltikziwa.

“;\t SakeOne we use a com-
bination of American hitech
know-how combined with tradi'
tional Japanese handcrafted
sake making techniques to pro-
duce otir sake." Frost said.

Sake. like red or white
wine. can be served with many
dishes. Frost said sake tastes
best when served with ﬁsh.
chicken. pork. vegetarian and
Asian cuisine.

l'iilike wine. F‘rost said
sake does not have more flavor
than the food.

"Sake has i :i the acidity of
wine so it does not burn out the
freshness of food relative to
wine and it‘s easy on the stom-
ach as well." he said.

For Frost. enjoyment seems
to rule all aspects oflife.

“Why would anybody do
anything if they didn't enjoy it'.’
That‘s my move outlook on life
perhaps. but i have always done
it and it has always worked out
for me." Frost said.

Sake vs. wine

Saké has a lower acidity than wine.

sac. unlike wine, contains no sulfates (and to percent
of Americans are allergic to sulfites). '

Premium saké is virtually hangover-free.

In Japan. studies show that people who enjoy salié
daily strengthen their cardiovascular system
without wine’s characteristic “sour stomach."

Saké has 400 flavor components; wine has 200.

Salté is more subtle and delicate, which enhances its
ability to serve as a social catalyst promoting
wonderful relationships.

Some people subscribe to the legend that saké is an
aphrodisiac.

let's talk solté

if you're going to seriously consider getting into saké.
here are a few terms every saké aficionado should
know

Kora: sake brewery

Toii: Chief brewer. sakémaster

-shu: a suffix meaning “wine" or "wine-like beverage"

Hiyazake: sake served at room temperature or slightly
chilled: another word for chilled sake’ is reishu

Kanzake: sake' that is served warm

Saké sayings

Try saying these to look like a saké pro:
Sake wa hyaltu yaku no choir
"A drink a day keeps the doctor away."

Sakénomi iozu wa nagaiki jozu.
"To know how to drink properly is to know longevity."

Sake' wa saki ni tomo to nari, ato ni tiki ni naru.
"Saké starts out as a friend but can end as an enemy."
Remember the importance of moderation.

Ippai nomeba yulii ga waki, hito-hataraki suru hodo set
go deru mono do.

“A good drink fills me with courage, and creates in me
the drive to get some work done."

What is bad sake?

Some tips to help you avoid saké that may be unfit for
human consumption:

Unbalanced combination of qualities

Excessive sweetness with no acidity

Something in the flavor that just doesn't belong there
Rubber or paper smell in the fragrance

Bland or flat impact

Dullish gold tinge (unless it is intentionally aged saké)
Old bottling tape

Bottle left open or in bright light
