The GOODS from Oyama Sausage Company
Vancouver, BC | Vancouver’s Oyama Sausage Co. has teamed up with Long Table Distillery to make three exciting new products. For a limited time, the Granville Island favourite will offer gin-glazed ham, gin chorizo sausage, and olive-gin saucisson sec made with premium handcrafted London Dry Gin from Long Table. Think of it as a new way to enjoy cocktail hour – without the glass.
Vancouver is in the middle of its 2-week-long Ginapalooza festival, which offers cocktail lovers gin-based drinks at a variety of venues around the city. Oyama’s limited-time offerings provide another great way to enjoy the flavourful spirit. Oyama proprietor John van der Lieck experimented with various combinations, and consulted with Long Table Co-Founder and Master Distiller Charles Tremewen, to determine which flavours worked best together, before coming up with the new gin-glazed ham, gin chorizo sausage, and olive-gin saucisson sec (a type of French dry-cured sausage). Van der Lieck and Tremewen share an enthusiasm for and commitment to using local ingredients whenever possible: Oyama actively cultivates relationships with BC suppliers, and all of Long Table’s spirits are made using 100% Canadian grains. The new products are great examples of amazing cuisine made using locally grown and raised ingredients. So raise a glass – and a slice – to gin at your next Sunday brunch, BBQ, or picnic!

About Oyama Sausage Co.
We opened our store on Granville Island in the amazing Public Market in 2001, moving to Vancouver from the Okanagan, where we were in business for 15 years. The business is owned by John and Christine van der Lieck. John is a fifth generation master sausage maker from Europe who has worked all over the European continent and is a true master in the trade of artisanal charcuterie. Our background is German and Dutch. At varying times, we make over 400 products, from patés and terrines to salamis, to hams, prosciuttos and many other dry cured treats, to sausages (dozens of links – fresh and smoked), pork pies, sliders and snacks, taking inspiration from many different ethnic backgrounds. These products are handmade in our kitchen in Vancouver. Our wonderful products are made with Canadian inspected free range, organic or family farm raised meats (pork, beef, bison, duck, elk, chicken, turkey and more), with natural herbs and spices sourced from all over the world. We carefully source all our ingredients, only the best will do! You will find many of our products in many of Vancouver’s fine restaurants and eateries.
