Our Experience
Mario and Jacky were really nice to explain and share with us more as we try the different sakes around. We had too many cups to count between us and it was interesting knowing more about the different sake types and how they can be paired.
We were excitedly refilling our cups for more sake to pair with the food and we loved that the pairings helped to accent the taste of the food.
We especially loved the Tsukune Kushiyaki and the Oden with hot sake! Just look at how juicy and springy they look and they’ll be able to surprise you even more with their taste!
Did you know adding a little mustard to your oden soup goes a long way in making the whole oden dish better? These little nuggets of information allow us to enjoy ourselves so much more!
Should We Attend?
If you’re all about the sake and how well can you accent the taste of sake or if you’re all about the food and finding out how different drinks enhances food flavours, do drop by and let them blow your mind!
