The BSA Committee is excited to once again invite you to sip sake in conversation with your fellow Association Members. Our theme for this meeting will be the sakes of the Chūbu region.Spanning the mountainous heart of Honshu and typically defined to comprise nine prefectures — Yamanashi, Nagano, Niigata, Toyama, Ishikawa, Fukui, Shizuoka, Aichi, and Gifu — the Chūbu region exhibits a huge variety of sake-making styles, from landmark sake-producing regions, influenced by the range of water, climates, rice varieties, and brewing guilds seen. Whether you choose a sake made from Gohyakumangoku or Miyamanishiki; a sake made in the style of the Echigo or Noto tōji; or perhaps a sake made to satisfy one of the many Geographical Indications found in Chūbu, there will be plenty for Members to explore in this month’s Study Group.
Join us at our usual meeting spot — Vagabond Monument — where charcuterie and fromagerie, small plates, and the ever-popular steak sharers will provide a counterpoint to the range of sakes kindly brought by attendees.
