Sake 101 =Blind Tasting Challenge 2=

Register at www.japaneseculinarycenter.com

The Japanese Culinary Center would like to once again offer a basic sake class, “SAKE 101”, on Wednesday April 28th. We are going to taste 5 different types of sakes and pair them with authentic Japanese Otsumami such as Takoyaki or Isobe -age. This will be fun for you to try traditional Japanese foods that you typically do not order at Japanese Restaurants.

We would also like to do a blind tasting with the winner receiving a surprise gift! All are welcome to this event. This Sake 101 event is unique from the first class, so for those who attended the first event please feel free to join us again for a whole new experience.
