Does anyone know of a place that will do sake tastings, including giving a short talk about the history of sake and how it’s made? Along that same vein, does anyone know of a restaurant that will do sake and sushi pairings?...

Korean-style barbecue.

Amuse Cafe in Venice is having a sake tasting dinner on October 26 (sunday) around 7pm. They will have a several course meal paired with a different sake for each course.

Hi CHers, I am a novice in sake drinking, and even more so for using it in cooking. I come across a few recipes that call for sake (at least 1 cup), and am not sure where will be a good place to get sake at a reasonable price. Any

I’ve been looking for this too. Sometimes I have found sake events posted on http://www.localwineevents.com I know that Japon Bistro in Pasadena regularly has 5 course sake pairing dinners – they are usually a little...

a good “buzz”. I tried another variety of sake tonight – Ginjo. It seems like Ginjo sake has 15% alcohol while Junmai sake only has 7% alcohol. The brand of Ginjo I had tonight doesn’t have any additional...

I haven’t eaten there, but Singapore Bistro is doing a five-course dinner with sake pairings for $45 through September 7. It might be a good way to try several sakes without having to plunk down toooo much cash....

the history of each wine with each course, with both clarity and humor. During the 9 courses I experienced, among others, fine sake, Hungarian Tokaji 3 Puttonyos (paired with foie) to some extremely small production Napa wines.

Hi all. I have a reservation for Momofuku Ko for tomorrow night. I see they offer three different beverage pairings. Does anyone have any opinions about which level of pairing to go for? I suppose the obvious is to go for the...

of the wines (and a sake or two) were outstanding, well balanced. Some of the white wines virtually exploded with minerality or frutiness. Im quite sure one of them was a 2006 Riesling named Sakta Anna (sp?) Does anyone have a...

I stashed away a few bottles of 2002 Vosne Romanee (Dom. M. Gros Clos de Reas for the sake of precision) that I am told should drink well now. Now that the weather is cooling, I am inspired to cook up some nice Burgundian fare to...
