An Authentic Taste of Traditional Japan Outside of Japan An authentic taste of Japan: Hamadaya offers premium quality Japanese sauces to the Malaysian community.   You are in a village during the Edo period in Japan over 200 years ago, a time of internal peace in the country and the final stretch of traditional Japan, where the sound of the wind blowing through bamboo stalks fills the air. You are treated to a steamy bowl of rice with some traditionally grilled fresh beef to be enjoyed with some soy sauce, sitting cross legged overlooking a Zen garden where the trickle of water from the pond plays in your ear. Now that you can picture this in your mind, it’s time for you to taste it.   Hamadaya, a Kumamoto-born soy sauce maker with roots stretching back to 1818, brings a traditional Japanese taste into the modern world to delight the taste buds of the people today through its range of premium sauces. Offering three different varieties of premium quality Japanese soy sauces, as well as an oyster essence sauce and two oden soup base options, Hamadaya has successfully enticed Malaysians with its authentic recipes since its establishment into the country in 2020 until now.   Its versatile range of sauces blends the sweetness of carefully-selected soybeans to bring out an exquisite umami taste with mineral-rich spring water, making Hamadaya’s products perfect for a marinade, as a dipping sauce, sauté base and many other uses.   The halal-certified award-winning sauces brand is proudly available in Malaysia and has already been globally renowned for its organic brewing technique, making it a preferred favourite among elite chefs around the world.   Despite having such an age-old recipe, Hamadaya’s soy sauces still resiliently innovates itself while also reinvigorating what used to be a normal dish into something that you can imagine enjoying while wearing kamishimo and kimonos, transporting you back to a time where samurais are still out and about. Simply put, it’s a time capsule in a bottle for your tastebuds.   Source: https://majalahwm.com/an-authentic-taste-of-traditional-japan-outside-of-japan/

PELAJAR MMU CYBERJAYA UNGGULI PERTANDINGAN HAMADAYA Jenama kicap halal premium Jepun, Hamadaya melancarkan satu pertandingan reka bentuk untuk pelajar-pelajar Fakulti Multimedia Kreatif, MMU dengan kerjasama Universiti Multimedia (MMU) Cyberjaya. Pertandingan reka bentuk tersebut berlangsung selama 3 minggu dan menarik lebih 50 penyertaan secara keseluruhan.   Pertandingan reka bentuk tersebut yang tamat pada 24 Februari 2022, adalah sebahagian daripada usaha Hamadaya untuk memberikan pelajar-pelajar peluang bukan sahaja bagi mengasah kemahiran mereka yang akan meningkatkan peluang pekerjaan mereka selepas tamat pengajian, tetapi juga untuk terus memupuk minat mereka dalam bidang multimedia kreatif menerusi latihan industri dengan jenama premium Jepun tersebut. Pelajar Tahun Dua Reka Bentuk Pengiklanan, Mona Tamer memenangi tempat pertama, membawa pulang hadiah wang tunai RM1,000. Rekaan beliau akan menghiasi bungkusan produk Hamadaya edisi terhad Aidilfitri 2022.   Pertandingan ini memenuhi objektifnya bagi memberikan pelajar-pelajar peluang untuk melihat reka bentuk mereka pada bungkusan produk dan merasai kehidupan sebagai seorang pereka bentuk, kata Naib Presiden Pemasaran Hamadaya, Lili Ho.   “Menerusi inisiatif ini, kami ingin memupuk bakat-bakat baharu untuk memanfaatkan minat dan bakat mereka bagi menghasilkan reka bentuk bungkusan produk berkualiti unggul yang setaraf dengan piawaian antarabangsa. Daripada perspektif pemasaran, kami percaya jenama-jenama yang berada di pasaran perlu mengambil peluang daripada pemikiran kreatif bakat-bakat muda ini kerana ia bukan sahaja akan menggalakkan kepelbagaian dalam produk yang anda tawarkan, tetapi ia turut menggalakkan mereka untuk lebih sedar tentang bakat mereka sendiri. Perkara ini akan mengukuhkan nilai mereka kelak sebagai seorang individu dalam pasaran kerjaya,” kata Ho.   Reka bentuk Mona mengetengahkan gabungan berharmoni warisan Malaysia dan Jepun dalam kombinasi elemen-elemen tradisional rumah kampung serta motif dan strok Jepun, satu penzahiran kepada penjenamaan Hamadaya untuk penduduk Malaysia. Beliau juga menggabungkan warna kacang soya yang selari dengan warna pilihan Hamadaya daripada Pantone Colour of the Year.   Sebagai kesinambungan kepada inisiatif ini, Hamadaya dan MMU Cyberjaya sedang meneroka satu kerjasama pada masa depan menerusi satu Memorandum Persefahaman (MoU). Ia bermatlamat untuk memberikan manfaat kepada pelajar-pelajar MMU, meliputi pelaksanaan latihan industri atau penempatan latihan amali eksklusif untuk pelajar-pelajar Multimedia Kreatif MMU di syarikat-syarikat kumpulan Hamadaya. Kerjasama ini bertujuan untuk menghubungkan prinsip-prinsip teori dan praktikal, mengukuhkan keupayaan teras pelajar-pelajar Multimedia Kreatif MMU dengan amalan-amalan praktikal industri dan pada masa sama membangunkan kemahiran bekerjasama dan interpersonal pelajar dengan kemahiran lain yang relevan sebagai mahasiswa jurusan Multimedia Kreatif.   Memetik laporan New Straits Times, wabak Covid-19 mencetuskan ketidakpadanan antara kebolehan-kebolehan yang diperlukan untuk pasaran pekerjaan dan bakat-bakat yang tersedia dalam pasaran. Graduan yang baru menamatkan pengajian berdepan kesukaran untuk memupuk dan mengembangkan kemahiran kreatif dan analitikal mereka untuk mereka bentuk berdasarkan permintaan bidang perniagaan yang berkembang pesat pada masa kini.   Senada dengan perkara ini, Dekan Fakulti Multimedia Kreatif, MMU Cyberjaya, Dr Lim Kok Yoong berkata, “Perkara yang paling utama dalam transformasi pendidikan ialah mengubah pendekatan kita dalam mendidik. Kerjasama antara Hamadaya dan Fakulti Multimedia Kreatif dalam projek dan penempatan latihan amali industri ialah satu aktiviti contoh yang kami mahu galakkan, kerana ia satu kerjasama yang memanfaatkan kedua-dua pihak: pelajar-pelajar akan mendapat gambaran menyeluruh mengenai proses produksi, bermula daripada kaji selidik dan pembentukan idea sehingga kepada penyelesaian masalah dan aplikasi dalam dunia sebenar. Bagi pihak industri, mereka berpeluang bekerjasama dengan dunia akademik untuk melaksanakan projek-projek baharu dan mendapat akses kepada bakat-bakat yang berkemahiran. Saya berharap kita akan dapat melaksanakan lebih banyak aktiviti-aktiviti yang dipacu oleh pihak industri untuk melengkapkan pelajar-pelajar kami dengan kemahiran-kemahiran yang mereka perlukan untuk berkembang maju dalam karier mereka.”   Sementara itu, acara penyampaian hadiah berlangsung di MMU Cyberjaya dengan dihadiri oleh Naib Presiden Pemasaran Hamadaya, Lili Ho, dan Dekan Fakulti Multimedia Kreatif MMU Cyberjaya, Dr Lim Kok Yoong.   Untuk maklumat lanjut tentang Hamadaya, sila kunjungi laman webnya di hamadayasauces.com atau laman media sosialnya di Instagram dan Facebook.   Sources: https://www.femagonline.com/2022/03/pelajar-mmu-cyberjaya-hamadaya.html?m=1

MMU Cyberjaya’s Student Won RM1,000 Cash Prize In Hamadaya’s Design Contest Cyberjaya, 17 March 2022 – In partnership with Multimedia University (MMU) Cyberjaya, a premium halal Japanese sauce brand, Hamadaya launched a design contest for the students of Faculty of Creative Multimedia, MMU. The design contest ran for 3 weeks, with over 50 submissions received in total.   The design contest which concluded on 24 February 2022, is part of Hamadaya’s efforts to provide students with an opportunity to not only enhance their skill sets which in essence will provide them higher chances of employability post graduation, but it is also to further cultivate their interest in the field through an industrial training program with the premium Japanese brand. Mona Tamer, a Year 2 Advertising Design student won first place, bringing home RM1,000 cash prize with her winning design being featured on Hamadaya’s Aidilfitri 2022 limited edition product’s packaging.   This is in line with the contest objective to provide these students an opportunity to experience having their design on product packaging, giving them a taste of a designer’s life, said Lili Ho, Vice President of Marketing for Hamadaya.   “With this initiative, we aim to nurture young talents to leverage on their interest and talents to produce top quality products packaging designs that are on par with international standards. And speaking from the marketing perspective, we believe that brands need to take advantage of the young talents’ creative minds as this will not only allow diversity in the products you offer, but encourage them to own their talents which will subsequently empower them to thrive as working adults.” added Ho.   Mona’s design included a harmonious mixture of both Malaysian and Japanese heritage in the combined elements of traditional kampung house with Japanese strokes and motifs, representing the branding of Hamadaya for Malaysians. She has also seamlessly incorporated the Soybean color to align with Hamadaya’s chosen color from the Pantone Colour of the Year.   As an extension to the initiative, both Hamadaya and MMU Cyberjaya are looking to explore a future partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding, which aims to benefit the students, including the implementation of industrial training or exclusive internship placement for MMU’s Creative Multimedia students at Hamadaya group of companies. This partnership aims to link theoretical principles to practice, improve the core competencies for MMU’s Creative Multimedia students with hands on industry practices, improve their understanding of the theoretical principles and the know-hows whilst developing students’ interpersonal, collaboration skills and other relevant skills they should possess as Creative Multimedia graduates.   As reported by New Straits Times, there is a mismatch between the abilities required for the job and the talents available due to the pandemic. Fresh graduates often find it difficult to cultivate and reflect their creativity and analytical skills to invent and design accordingly to meet the demand of businesses that are rapidly expanding and growing in line with current times.   Echoing this, Dean of Faculty of Creative Multimedia, MMU Cyberjaya, Dr. Lim Kok Yoong said, “The biggest part of education transformation is changing the way we educate. This partnership between Hamadaya and Faculty of Creative Multimedia on industry project and internship arrangement is an exemplary activity we would like to promote, as this is a mutually beneficial collaboration: For student to have a holistic view of the production pipeline, from research and ideation to problem-solving and real world application; for industry to collaborate with academia to conduct exploratory project and get access to skilled talents. I hope we can spawn more similar industry driven activities to empower our students with the competencies they need to thrive in their career.”   Meanwhile, the prize-giving ceremony took place today at MMU Cyberjaya with the attendance of both Vice President of Marketing for Hamadaya, Lili Ho, and the Dean of Faculty of Creative Multimedia, MMU Cyberjaya, Dr Lim Kok Yong.   Sources: https://en.siakapkeli.my/2022/03/mmu-cyberjayas-student-won-rm1000-cash-prize-in-hamadayas-design-contest/

#JOM! EAT: Simple recipes made with Hamadaya sauce ITS name may not immediately hit Japanese food lovers in Malaysia, but its rich flavours and consistency will. Hamadaya Shoyu, a name that has its roots cemented in Kumamoto, Japan in 1818, is now in Malaysian soil to give a new meaning to Malaysians’ Japanese food journey. MORE NEWS #JOM! EAT: It’s taco time! #JOM! EAT: Breakfast in KB #JOM! EAT: Spice up your Sub #JOM! EAT: Autumn sweetness in CU The sauce is named after the family who handcrafted the recipe using a 200-year-old time-tested recipe. Hamadaya offers three soy sauces – Seasoning Soy Sauce, Reduced Salt Soy Sauce and Soy Sauce, and Oyster Essence Sauce that is made from only the freshest and natural oyster extract. It is worth to mention that the soy sauces are light and have that umami flavour that gives your dishes a lifted umph! Here are three easy-to-make recipes by Chef Jeff Ramsey (Michelin Starred Chef and Owner of Japas Restaurant in Changkat Semantan) that you can make at home, using the Hamadaya sauces. AHI POKE  Poke (pronounced poh-kay) is a classic Hawaiian dish made of raw fish marinated in sauce, eaten together with rice (or noodle, or on its own) and salad. Traditionally, Poke usually uses Ahi which is yellowfin tuna, but you can switch the protein to salmon or tofu (or even teriyaki chicken or beef, if you like). It’s a simple dish and all you need is Sushi-grade fresh fish and your selected salad.  Here’s how to make a bowl. WHAT YOU NEED: ¾ cup tuna – cut in cubes of 1.5×1.5 cm 1½ tsp sweet onion 1 tbsp Ogo Nori – flat, deep-green, paper-thin sheets of seaweed  ½ tbsp roast sesame seeds 2 tsp sesame oil 2 tsp Hamadaya Japanese Seasoning Soy Sauce (red bottle)  1 tsp Shichimi Togarashi – Japanese spice mixture containing seven ingredients which adds a fiery umami kick 2 tsp chopped spring onions 2 tbsp Kizami Nori – dried seaweed finely cut into angel hair shapes  A bowl of rice (sushi rice is recommended) HOW TO MAKE: Mix tuna, sweet onion, Ogo Nori, roast sesame seeds, sesame iil, Hamadaya Japanese Seasoning Soy Sauce, Shichimi Togarashi and spring onions in a bowl to marinate. Enjoy it with a bowl of rice and top it with Kizami Nori. STAMINA JIRU Jiru, (or shiru) means soup in Japanese and this recipe basically gives you stamina, and also complements the poke bowl, when having it together.  WHAT YOU NEED: ¼ cup of sliced carrots ¼ cup of sliced daikon ¼ cup of chopped Napa cabbage 2tbsp chopped kimchi 2 cups of water 2 tsp Dashi powder White fish boned, roasted until brown Fish scraps, sliced 1tbsp Hamadaya Japanese Seasoning Soy Sauce HOW TO MAKE: Add the bones in water and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove bones and then add all other ingredients in the soup. Simmer for another 30 minutes, covered. Season it with Hamadaya Japanese Seasoning Soy Sauce. MARINATED OYSTERS IN OLIVE OIL If you love oysters, this dish is great as an appetizer to start your meal.  It’s simple, and easy to make, but takes a week to marinate for best flavour. This yummy appetiser is best served with toasted baguette, pasta, a stir fry dish or enjoy them in an omelette! WHAT YOU NEED: 15 oysters 1 tsp Hamadaya Japanese Oyster Essence Sauce  1/2 tsp Hamadaya Japanese Reduced Salt Soy Sauce (green bottle) 1 clove garlic, smashed 1 bay leaf 1cm dried red chilli ½ cup extra virgin olive oil 1 sprig thyme 4pcs coriander seed Sterilsed jar HOW TO MAKE: Rinse the oysters in 2% salt water three times. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Fry the oysters over high heat with a little olive oil until very plump and lots of water comes out. Drain the water out. Turn down the heat to medium and add the garlic, thyme, coriander seed and oyster sauce. Cook gently for a minute and turn off the heat. Don’t overcook. Transfer to a sterilised jar and fill the jar with more olive oil until it completely covers the oysters. Put the lid on tightly and keep it in the chiller. These oysters will only be ready after few days’ time. One week marination is recommended and it can last up to two weeks.  Source: https://www.nst.com.my/lifestyle/jom/2021/12/753166/jom-eat-simple-recipes-made-hamadaya-sauce
