The Joy of Sake takes place Thursday, September 13, 2007 from 6-8 p.m. at the Hilton San Francisco.
Join visiting brewers from Japan and sake enthusiasts from San Francisco and Japan to sample this year’s newly released fall sakes. More than 300 sake, including gold and silver award winners from this year’s U.S. National Sake Appraisal, will be featured.
The Joy of Sake is the largest sake tasting held outside of Japan, and a rare opportunity to experience great sake in peak condition. Good food and fine sake are made to be enjoyed together.
A splendid array of sake appetizers prepared by 14 outstanding restaurants provides an ideal accompaniment to the many fine daiginjo, ginjo and junmai sakes available for sampling.
Last year’s list of participating restaurants includes: Betelnut, Ebisu, Hana, Hime, Kiku of Tokyo, Kirala, Kyo-ya, Memphis Minnie’s Barbeque, Namu, Ozumo, Poleng Lounge, Roy’s, Sanraku and Sushi Ran.
Tickets are $70 and can purchased online at joyofsake.com or by calling 415-420-7744.
