Grape wine may be the typical feature of our delightful tastings, though not the sole focus. We love featuring many delights from the beverage world, including the detailed and mysterious world of Japanese Sake (Nihonshu 日本酒).
Styles include sparkling, raw, highly-polished, cloudy, and more. The nuances are so fathomed that some beverage professionals often dedicate their entire career focus to sake alone! In this Buddies’ event, we hope to scratch the surface on the world of sake, and offer some of the most representative and unique labels that find their way stateside.
