NYC: Hakkaisan Tasting and Virtual Brewery Tour!!

Hakkaisan Sake Brewery is hosting a very special sake tasting event! We’re taking you as close to visiting our Brewery as you can get without visiting Japan!

We’ll start the evening with a virtual guided tour of the Hakkaisan Sake Brewery! Using a 3D multi-media presentation, you’ll tour the entire facility and see exactly where and how our delicious sake is made. Guided by sake Educator Timothy Sullivan and Hakkaisan Brewery Representative Kumiko Kurosawa, peer inside of the brewery and see each and every step of sake production in action.

As we journey through the brewery facility together, sit back and enjoy a vertical sake tasting, from our Futsu-shu to our Junmai Ginjo, of ALL of Hakkaisan’s delicious sakes currently imported into the U.S.A.! This vertical tasting of all imported Hakkaisan sakes will give you an understanding of the spirit of the Brewery and demonstrate the nuances of each of our delicious sakes allowing you to attune your palate to the taste of Hakkaisan. We will also surprise you with a special sample of one of our sakes not yet available in the United States.

At the end of our tour, we’ll relax and enjoy some delicious Japanese food to pair with your favorite Hakkaisan Sake and allow time to answer any and all questions you may have!

Menu Includes:
• Hanger steak marinated with rich miso & green salad.
• Steamed chicken with almond sauce.
• Grilled fluke soaked in a dashi broth.
• Sauteed fresh lettuce
• Bara-chirashi.

This will be a fun, informative and entertaining evening that is not to be missed!
