Demystifying Japanese Premium Saké
Corporate Saké Tasting and Educational Events
Corporate Saké Presentations
Japanese sake has been receiving a bad wrap due to poor quality sakes being served in Asian restaurants across the country. But did you know that there are Premium Sakes that rival in flavor profile and diverse food-pairing options much like wine?
That’s why champagne giants like Regis Camus (Charles Heidsieck and Rare Champagne) and Richard Geoffroy (Dom Perignon) are now brewing their own sakes, utilizing their masterful blending talent to produce tantalizing beverages.
If you love wine, why not expand your libation repertoire by discovering a centuries-old beverage crafted by skilled brewers utilizing quality ingredients called Premium Sake?
Please join me in my Demystifying Japanese Premium Sake presentation. Learn basic sake terminology in a relaxed environment to help you decode and glean a general flavor profile from sake labels without knowing how to read Japanese. Let me introduce you to a few sakes that are night and day different from what you may have tasted in your local restaurants. I’ll share with you how to drink premium sake and even clear up some misconceptions.
Learning something new together as a group is a fun team-building opportunity. We’ll play a sake-drinking game played by Geishas and their exclusive patrons for centuries and still played to this date.
By the end of our session, my goal is to supply each participant with foundational sake knowledge so they can confidently explore the exciting world of Premium Sake on their own.
Your kit includes 3 selected Premium Sake which will be shipped to you. Please refrigerate them upright in your fridge until the event date.
You provide wine glasses for tasting.
