“The average age of people in this community is 65 and above, we have to keep elder farmers healthy in order for them to continue what they are doing to make a living. Meanwhile, we are hoping for youngsters to return home to stay and help with farming business.” - Ms. Chang Mei, the chairwoman of Sanxing Organic Farming Association.
“An authentic locally made rice bran wine top the Yilan culture offerings”. The USR (University Society Responsibility) project is funded by Ministry of Education and executed by Cardinal Tien Junior College of Health and Management. This project is to brew unique high-quality wine flavor using Sanxing produced organic rice bran in coordination with Cardinal Tien Yilan campus sodium bicarbonate spring water. Using the organic rice bran wine as the center of French cocktail feast to top Yilan culture offerings.
Being reviewed by the professional Master Sommelier, Mr. Rocky Wang, “Clear as crystal, strong body and fragrance, dominated by yeast and grain at the beginning and followed by fresh and fruity melon. The perfect balance among yeast, rice bran and fresh tropical melon. Stands for its unique character with hint of dry white wine.”
It’s hard to imagine that rice bran was once a dirt-cheap and now an ingredient of our exquisite quality brew. Equipped with academic knowledge and science background, teachers and students’ tireless efforts by doing countless experiments and research to make the farming biproduct, rice bran to make this exquisite brew possible. To a further extend, a series of facial essence, facial wash, and joint cream products to follow. Collaborating with Yilan Chungfu Winery, this Rice Bran Wine will indeed benefit the Yilan local community by using rice bran and spring water as valuable products. That said, this is a textbook exmaple of turning dirt into gold.
Hosted by the Department of Health and Hospitality students, this feast is not only a simple function but also a presentation of hospitality skills learnt in campus. The Department of Health and Hospitality has been dedicated to training professionals for the real world for decades. In this feast, a widely acclaimed cocktail punch, which is named Watermelon Balls Smoothie, is a cocktail based on amazake (sweet sake). This amazake is another product of collaboration between Chungfu Winery and Department of Cosmetic Application and Management. This feast was undoubtedly a practical showcase of our vocational education and skill training.
This feast was aiming for going international. Presenting a French cuisine paring with oriental white rice bran wine is pioneering. Started with popular Smoked Duck and Sanxing shallots as appetizers, followed by next course of Yuanshan bamboo shoot and Yilan seafood with rice bran flavored condiment. Before the main course was served, the rice bran wine served with locally grown fresh cucumber impressed diners on the tastebuds. The main course was herb chicken stew cooked with rice bran wine served with Sanxing organic steamed rice. During the feast, the professional sommelier demonstrated how to taste the rice bran wine in various ways; chilled to 7-10 °C goes well with appetizers. In this temperate, the rice bran wine stands out for its fragrance which is a perfect match with fresh melons. While lower temperatures between -1 and -18 °C are totally another way to appreciate the rice bran wine. The dry, crispy and aromatic flavors of wine go nicely with the chicken stew; the smoothness of the wines presents so well in the lower temperature.
As the feast came to an end, the containing of Yilan local revitalization offering has just begun. Contributing to Sanxing local community in Yilan for more than a decade, Cardinal Tien Junior College of Health and Management implemented the USR project working closely with Sanxing’s very own people, culture, produce and scenic spot.
