If you’re passionate about sake and want to know the answers to the manifold questions that naturally come to mind when drinking this amazing elixir, here’s  the opportunity to learn from the most knowledgeable guy on the subject right here in New York City.   John has been an inspiration not only to us but to a community of people who you’ll find available to you too when you take his course.

Here’s all you need to know to sign up.  And take it from us, he’s good for his guarantee that the course leaves “no sake stone unturned.”

As summer both unofficially (post Memorial Day) and officially (with the Summer Solstice) kicks off in June, we’ve focused our tastings on sake that are perfect for seasonal  sipping separately,  or with grilling favorites.  Clean, light, and dry for the former and bold and fruity for the latter, this month’s selections will ensure that you’ll have a great sake for all of your summer celebrations.
