As the initial launch of Gushan Brand Fukien Old Wine, the leading yellow wine brand hosted a cooking event on 8th October, 2022 at Zing House, Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong.
Leveraging the versatility of Fukien Old Wine, FUKIEN MAMA connects cultures and generations through our love for food. The event invited 6 local families to learn about the history and culture of Fukien Old Wine, as well as traditional and modernised dishes of the Fujian province.
Connecting cultures and generations through our love for food, FUKIEN MAMA is inspired by Cooking Mama from Nintendo Games, bringing cooking, gamification and the cultural love language of food together.

Established in 1842 at the Xiadu Daxing Distillery in Fuzhou, Fujian, today’s Fukien Old Wine combines the brewing wisdom from the Song Dynasty with advanced innovations of today.
Made with premium glutinous rice, a traditional fermentation starter of 60+ precious Chinese medicines, with a unique red yeast rice found only in Fujian province called “Gutian Red Yeast”. With Fujian’s natural climate and our innovative brewing process, Fukien Old Wine preserves its nutrition and medicinal value while cultivating its signature color, aroma and flavor.
Huangjiu (黃酒), also known as Chinese Yellow Wine, is one of the oldest wines in the world together with beer and wine. Containing 21 kinds of amino acids, vitamin B1, B2, E and other nutrients, yellow wine's nutritional value exceeds that of beer and wine, which is also why it is known as "liquid cake" in ancient China. Studies have also shown that regular intake (through cooking and drinking) of Chinese Yellow Wine introduces and enhances anti-aging and other beautifying properties in women.
To bring home the culture of cooking, each family will receive the event recipes with Fukien Old Wine after the event. Coming soon at your favourite food spots, Fukien Old Wine is now finalizing collaboration with restaurants and supermarkets of all sizes. See you very soon at your neighbourhood!"
