Olga served us salpicon at her elegant country house with breathtaking view in Armenia where there are many coffee plantations. Salpicon is a cold drink. She powered cold orange juice in the glass cup filled with cut-up, cubed tropical fruits. Columbian people really love their fruits.
Big Thank You for Bogota Wine & Food Festival and Fundacion Prema for inviting us – Chef Daisuke Hayashi (Sake no Hana, London), Chef Masato Shimizu (15 East, NYC), Chef Shuichi Kotani (Soba Totto, NYC), Sake Sommelier Yasu Suzuki (15 East, NYC), Chef Tsuyoshi Murakami (Kinoshita, Brazil) and Chef Hiroko Shimbo (Hiroko’s Kitchen, LLC, NYC) – to offer a charity Japanese dinner at JW Marriott Hotel in Bogota. The raised money at the dinner was donated to Hospital Los Angeles de Pasto, founded by Dr. Doris Sarasti, where over 1,000 children who are suffering from cancer, caused by the spray to destroy the cocaine plantation, are taken care of. http://www.gastronomiajaponesa.org/
