SAKE Fundamentals (Session TWO)

Tasting: ¥6500 / US$75

Varieties of Sake and Serving Temperature

Join Melinda Joe, author of the sake and wine blog Tokyo Through the Drinking Glass and bar editor for the Tokyo Food Page, for a Sake Fundamentals workshop. Each session in this 3-part series of tastings features a flight of 5 sake and several dishes to complement them. Food is prepared and demonstrated by Elizabeth Andoh, director of A Taste of Culture.

Session TWO introduces less typical varieties of sake such as Namazake, Kimoto, and Yamahai. During this session we sample sake served chilled, warmed, and at room temperature.

  • Grades of Sake and the Brewing Process (Session One: January 17)
  • Varieties of Sake and Serving Temperatures (Session Two: February 7)
  • Regional Character (terroir); Guidelines for Pairing Sake with Food (Session Three: March 14)
