Since 2017, Tomasu has been ageing its soy sauces in bourbon barrels; what started with just a few barrels will reach its thousandth barrel in 2025. Barrel 911 playfully references the iconic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/porsche_nederland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Porsche<\/a> model. For this edition, Tomasu used soybeans from the 2021 harvest (Westdijk, Mijnsheerenland), wheat from 2022 (Stougjesdijk), grey sea salt from Gu\u00e9rande and revitalised Rotterdam tap water. The fermentation process began on April 11, 2023. What followed were 128 weeks of care and attention. Fermented in a former bourbon barrel, now known as barrel 911. Never used before. Never to be used again. The soy sauce from barrel 911 is available in a limited edition and is not for sale in shops. Watch the process of making Tomasu soy sauce in the short documentary video below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tomasu x Porsche: een eerbetoon aan de zoektocht naar perfectie\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LNKuf9dgsEg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eberhardjes.nl\/over-ons\/nieuws\/rabobank-maakt-lieve-amsterdammers-mede-mogelijk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Eberhardjes | A gift for the organization and the city of Amsterdam<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>In May this year, we wrote about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/en\/eberhardjes-are-looking-for-lieve-amsterdammers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eberhardjes Foundation<\/a>. Inspired by Eberhard van der Laan&#8217;s (the former mayor of the town) call to \u201cTake good care of our city and each other\u201d, R\u00e9salieke Vlieger came up with the idea of cookies that are good for Amsterdam. On Tuesday October 28, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/eberhardjes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eberhardjes Foundation<\/a> received a symbolic cheque for \u20ac5,000. Rabobank had already transferred the amount this summer as an encouragement to continue focusing on the good. The foundation used this money to develop the \u201cLieve Amsterdammer\u201d campaign, and now they can keep the hall of fame open to all Amsterdammers. Their (food) photographer Jules Reijnders visits the entrepreneurs who sell Eberhardjes or serve them with coffee. He photographs the entrepreneurs with the Eberhardjes. The photographs taken by Jules are then shared with the entrepreneurs so that they too can make use of them.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/rosewood-hong-kong-nomme-no1-de-the-worlds-50-best-hotels-2025-302600439.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Three Maybourne hotels on the World\u2019s 50 Best Hotels<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Maybourne, the British hotel chain, announced that three of its UK hotels have been included in The World\u2019s 50 Best Hotels 2025.
