Saké is the ancient, traditional beverage of Japan. You could say Japan in a glass. How on earth does it start as grains of rice and transform into an elegant, versatile, refreshing, and palate quenching brew? And, what the heck is Junmai, Koji, Daiginjo? Also, how do I even begin understanding what's on the label and in the bottle? Maybe you only had hot saké and want to branch out or love wine but want to see what all the saké fuss is about. This class is great for those already into saké wanting to dive a little deeper and saké-curious, open-minded wine drinkers who know they love wine but are game for trying new things.
With mystical origins being made by monks, the saké available today is a very modern beverage yet still with ancient roots. Join us and guest educator, Cole Youngner (Certified Saké Advisor and WSET Saké 3 Certified) to demystify saké and see how Japan's unique fermented beverage truly is for everyone. With dashes of history, brewing and production process, and, the super good part, tasting, Cole will guide you through a sakê crash course. Learn what makes saké unique among fermented drinks, its similarities and differences to wine, and four key styles from the Sake Service Institute of Japan to get started on your saké journey.
