Sake Event: Warm Sake Tasting Class and Brewery Tour

For a long time, warm sake has gotten a bad rap! But it can be absolutly delicious when you pick the right sake and the right temperature. Join us for this exciting exploration of sake temperature and the joys of warming sake. It's the perfect way to explore the subtle umami and richness of premium sake. We'll contrast some chilled sake and taste the same sake warm as well and enjoy some carefully selected food pairings to round out the tasting flight. In all, we'll taste 5 kinds of sake, each paired with a delicious bite to bring out the flavors and textures.

As always, this class will include a behind the scenes brewery tour to see how sake is made at NY State's first sake brewery.

What's included:

• A welcome sake to get you started!
• A brief intro to sake temperature.
• Guided Tasting of 5 craft sakes served at different temperatures to bring out a unique nuance in the sake.
• Exploration of sake production styles and flavors.
• Enjoy some nibbles with each sake to enjoy a curated pairing.
• Handouts so you can bring your newfound sake temperature knowledge home
• Finish with a Guided tour through our new Sake Brewery
