This virtual discussion and sake tasting event dives into the essence of the sake industry in the US, providing insights into its unique characteristics compared to traditional Japanese sake.
Weston Konishi, President of Sake Brewers Association of North America, will bring us behind the scenes of this evolving industry. Following the discussion, experience some North American brewed sake firsthand in a tailored sake tasting session, led by JET alum sake experts Greg Beck (Hiroshima, 2006-2011), owner of Sake Secret and Justin Urso (Tokushima, 2006-2007), owner of Big Box Karaoke. Discover the distinct flavors, brewing techniques, and cultural influences that shape North American sake.
The sake tasting will be the last portion of the event and is optional. You are welcome to join us with or without sake- no judgements! Don't miss this virtual experience that educates, celebrates, and indulges in the fascinating world of sake.
