Sake Tasting

Sake is fermented rice wine that serves an important role in Japanese culture and history. The popularity of sake has supported the growth of breweries all over the world. Join us on a guided tour of various traditional Japanese sake as well as American sake. While you partake in small samples of each, our local sommelier, Marcus Pakiser, will teach you about the various types of sake and how the production process affects the flavor. This experience is great for both those new to sake and those experienced with the drink.
