East Asia Wine & Sake: A Road Less Traveled Wine Event

Uncover sake with 5 tastings plus plum wine, expertly paired bites, and learn how this versatile Japanese beverage complements many cuisines

What does SMV on the back of a sake bottle mean?" "Is Japanese cuisine the only food to appropriately pair with sake?"... Come de-mystify these questions and more as we taste our way through the complex and diverse expressions of this popular Japanese beverage.

Included in this tasting are 5 sakes bookended by 2 preparations of Hakutsuru Plum Wine. We will craft unique pairings for each tasting in collaboration with our Cheese, Produce, and Sushi departments to show the infinite ways sake can complement a variety of cuisines.
