Welcome back
To celebrate the long awaited resumption of LIVE events, we are very excited to be hosting a Grand Tasting of Sake! At least 80 different sakes will be available for tasting (free pour).
EVENT UPDATE: Tickets are selling fast, and on top of the 80+ sake on offer we have more exciting news to share if you are still thinking about joining us. (Details on booking can be found at the bottom of the post.)
Satomi Dosseur from Enshu Sake will be hosting an “Introduction to Umami” session during the Tasting – come and learn what the elusive “fifth taste” actually is, where to find it and experience a taste of umami with Satomi’s expert guidance. Places are limited and on a first come first serve basis on the night.
We will also be introducing you to a new sponsor, who will be sharing some wonderful Wagyu beef products to sample!
Our sponsors are generously donating great prizes for the raffle draw on the night – we won’t reveal all the surprises, but here is a sneak peek of just a few of the fabulous items up for grabs such as a £50 voucher from VSF, goodies from the wasabi company, 1.8L isshobin of shochu from our own Marie Cheong-Thong (The Larder at 36), Wagyu beef and much more!
Entry to the tasting includes one free ticket for this amazing prize draw, and additional tickets can be purchased on the night to increase your odds – all proceeds go to charity.
