Many people love sake but find it intimidating and indecipherable. In this tasting, we will be featuring a line of sake from Joto. Founded in 2005, Joto’s mission is to serve as a bridge between Japanese artisanal sake and the American market. They aim to bring the world of artisanal sake to life without “dumbing it down”, “Americanizing it”, or just making it cheesy. Joto is Japanese for “highest level” and describes the makers of their sake and their aspirations as the importer. They are the exclusive importer for multi-generational, family-owned breweries whom they identify and approach after trying their sake in Japan and reading about their brands in Japanese food and beverage publications. These jizake (local) breweries are located throughout Japan, producing sake in small batches with locally-raised indigenous rice varieties, offering flavors and styles ideal for a range of cuisines.
We require all guests to be present at the start time of the event. We are unable to honor your ticket if you are more than 15 minutes late to the tasting.
