A night of Japanese sake tasting
Our first ever online ‘Sake Tasting Night’ took place on 29th April. The event was a huge success and we were pleased to welcome many IJA individual and corporate members to enjoy and learn the basics of sake from the comfort of their homes.
The evening included not only sake tasting but our guest speakers Colin Murray, Retro Sake, and Graham Ryan, Yamamori, took everyone on a virtual tour and introduced to the origins and history of sake, the wide variety of sake types and its production in Japan.
During the event participants had a chance to taste 6 different types of Japanese sake:
* Hatsumago “Kimoto Tradition”, Honjozo
* Kikumasamune Junmai “Koujo”, Junmai
* Kikusui Junmai Ginjo, Junmai Ginjo
* Rihaku “Dreamy Clouds”, Junmai Nigori
* Dassai 45, Junmai Daiginjo
* Fukuju “Plum Sake”, Plum Sake
We had a wonderful experience hosting this event and we would like to thank everyone who joined us and made it a tremendous success!
Event was organised in cooperation with RetroVino Wine & Sake and Yamamori Restaurant Group.
The IJA would like to thank Eddie Hughes, IJA Council, for his help and support throughout this project and event.
