Sake Day is the definitive sake exploration and tasting event in the Bay Area and is hosted by folks who know sake best! Think part sake Oktoberfest, part sake science, part sake appreciation, part sake exploration, part sake education and all sake enthusiasm. This event is a sake carnival of sorts where drinkers leave with as much knowledge in their heads as sake in their bellies!
If you know sake then you know that Sake Day is the best resource for not only tasting sake, but learning more about what you are drinking! If you are new to sake then this event represents a colorful and entertaining party that speaks the language of sake in its most basic sense – enjoyment!
The unique sake exploration stations range from a “Blind Tasting Station” with 8 sakes with two sakes being the same – can you pick the same sakes? – to a “Vertical Sake Tasting Station” with a Junmai, Ginjo and Dai Ginjo sake from the same brewery. Also try the “Find the Nigori Station” where we pour three of the same sakes, Junmai, Nama Junmai and Junmai Nigori to see if you can blindly identify the Nigori – sounds easy right? This station had a 30% correct rate at the Second Annual Sake Day celebration – harder than it sounds! And of course we will have the “Damaged Sake” station to show the durability and resilience of sake under duress. Plus much much more!
