Hankyu Umeda Main Store Italy Exhibition


10March 30〜11月4日までの6日間、大阪・阪急梅田本店で開催されたイタリア展にて、オリーブオイルソムリエの仕事をして来ました。阪急梅田さんの立案で、イタリア展で販売されるオリーブオイル約50種類、全てテイスティングする事ができて、食べ比べができるという画期的なブースです。お客様方は、1ヶ所で食べ比べが出来るので、セールスされる事なく、本当に好みのオリーブオイルを見つける方ができるのです。ソムリエの私達の仕事は、お客様から普段どんなお料理に使われるか、または使いたいか、苦くて辛いのがお好きか、パンやサラダに使いたいのか、和食が多いのか、フルーティな物がお好きなのか、お酒はお好きかなど、ある程度の情報をお伺いしてから、後ろの棚から3〜6種類ほどのオリーブオイルをご提案します。ほとんど全てのお客様方が仰ったのは、『オリーブオイルってこんなに味が違うんですね』『家で使ってるオリーブオイルと全く違う』『口の中がサラサラする物と、ベタベタして臭い物があります』『コレ、美味しい!!!』『コレ、臭くてベタベタで不味い!!!』その場で食べ比べたら、『オリーブオイルの味、全くわかりません!』とテイスティングする前まで仰っていた皆様が、口を揃えて仰った言葉です。私たちソムリエも、何故こんなに味が違うのかと、お客様の疑問にお答え致しました。最後に、私が申し上げたのは、『良い香りで美味しいエキストラバージンオリーブオイルは体に良いですが、不味くて、食べた後口がベタっとする物は、先ずエキストラバージンではありませんし、体にも良くないです。』と、皆様へ申し上げました。Languageこのページは自動的に翻訳されました。元の内容と異なる場合がありますので、ご注意ください。

Olive oil course for a long time


For the first time in about 10 months, I took a lecture by Tada, president of the Japan Olive Oil Sommelier Association. It is a challenge to master taster "Defect flavor master course". In the course, it is especially difficult to be rough. But it is a very important course. In Japan, the demand for olive oil has increased over the past few years. So, there are overwhelmingly many consumers who don't know the flavor of real extra virgin olive oil. Even if the thing bought believing that it is extra virgin olive oil is fake, and it eats it and it is bad, "This is EXVOO or it is? It's bad, but it's really good for your health, so let's put up with it and eat it.💦💦And then. But the bad ones don't last long. On the contrary, when i eat it, my chest is burned, my stomach goes down, and the gep doesn't stop.💦💦it's not real extra virgin olive oil☝So where do I buy it? Which one to buy?? Please buy the olive oil sold in my shop!! Extra virgin olive oil is not an exaggeration to say that there is almost no regulation. The olive oil sommelier we are studying is a 'defective flavor' olive oil(including things like)We are working to educate consumers to receive safe and secure extra virgin olive oil, remembering the flavor of each defect. If you don't eat the real thing, you won't have the health benefits you're expecting. On the contrary, it is said that it causes poor health.

I passed.❣


12On Sunday, I passed the master sommelier qualification practical test at the Japan Olive Oil Sommelier Association [Olive Oil Flavor Appraisal Ring Test]❣❣The next is an interview with the President. I took a four-day master sommelier course last summer and took a tasting test to apply all four types of olive oil, but I failed. After that, I received it four times, but it did not reach the correct answer to all questions. A course called "Flavor Appraisal Ring Test" is conducted to improve your tasting skills once a month. Six types of olive oil are appraised in 55 minutes. Cool it 3. After it is finished, the taste test of the physical strength and energy which becomes herohero with a lot of astringency in the mouth. If you put out a correct answer rate of more than 70% here, you will pass.
