Enter.Sake Heiwa Junmai

Enter.Sake Heiwa Junmai from Heiwa Shuzo,  known for their “Kid” line in Japan, is a huge favorite of mine. Refreshing and utterly drinkable. I’m so glad this brewery finally has an offering available in the west. #sake #enter.sake…

Sake Caliente ‘Sake Workshop’ at Brooklyn Kura

20171121_211811.jpg

We spent a fantastic evening at @brooklynkura for Sake Caliente’s first ‘Sake Workshop’ event! We sampled 4 types of @nanbubijin 'Yuzo Special’ sakes both warm and room temperature. Yuzo Kuji is an expert at producing sake that is meant to be enjoyed warm. There was also a special Umami Butter themed dinner that was provided for pairing. You can check out some live footage on our Instagram story!

Isojiman’s Omachi Tokubetsu Junmai is a huge favorite of John’s, combining fruitiness with a delightfully dry finish

Myshell prefers her sake flavors bold, and Tamagawa always delivers! This is their “Heart of Gold” Daiginjo, and it was her favorite of the night.
