An Introduction to Sake
Event Information
Description
Many people think sake is rice wine. That’s not quite true. This traditional Japanese alcoholic drink is closer to beer than wine and is brewed in a complex process by master brewers called tōji. Join sake sommelier, Jamie Graves, and taste your way through an introduction to the bold, fragrant, and aromatic flavors of this often underestimated drink. Learn how sake is made, how to serve it, and what to taste for when drinking it, while enjoying an assortment of perfectly paired snacks. This event is 21+. Participants must present valid ID.

Organizer of An Introduction to Sake
Every bite of food we eat tells a story. Here’s ours:
The Free Library is advancing literacy in Philadelphia in a unique and innovative way—with a fork and a spoon. Cooking and eating are educational acts and provide opportunities to learn math, science, languages, history and so much more. Using cooking as the vehicle for learning, the Culinary Literacy Center advances literacy through food and cooking around a communal table.
Opened in 2014, the Culinary Literacy Center is the first space of its kind in a public library and serves as a model for libraries worldwide. The Culinary Literacy Center is based in our kitchen classroom at Parkway Central, but we offer programming at nearly all of our neighborhood libraries. Culinary Literacy Center programs teach healthy cooking, build community, and promote civic dialogue.
Pull up a seat at our table and see what’s cooking at the Free Library of Philadelphia!
