Sake class for a couple from Berlin, Germany

It was early summer in July. Wonderful couple from German took sake class. Japanese sake is quite rare but popular and common drink is beer. When I visited Frankfurt as flight attendant, I rather enjoyed apple wine.

What we offer at sake class is,

1.

lecture of sake producing procedures, small part of history, what made the taste differences of sake. Also be instructed how to read sake label. Generally it is difficult to "read" the label because most of them are written in Japanese character, but most of them show the very important part which we want to know to imagine the taste.

2.

Pour 4 kinds of sake into the small cups and taste them including visual evaluation, smell the aroma, taste sake until after note. We also exchange the descriptions of the taste, such as citrus taste, rich texture, crisp flavor and feel free something we express what the taste the sake. Also we pay attention the difference of the taste of 4 kinds of sake.

3

Now food sample is served. There are 5 kinds of food, such as small rolled sushi, 3 kinds of miso with vegetables, Tofu dish, seasonal fruits and sweets. I suggest food and paired sake, but participants can enjoy to find a pairing by themselves. This is the fun time to encounter new tastes.

The participants can now find their favorite types of bottle to enjoy sake during the stay, and local Japanese restaurant.

I always wishing people who take my class will enjoy more Japanese food and the culture while the rest of the trip in Japan.

Sake Tasting Class for beautiful mother and daughter from India

It was wonderful opportunity to meet a mom and a daughter from Mumbai in India.

They are interested in Japanese sake, but didn't know well about it since it is rare chance to drink sake in the country, mostly sake is served in Japanese restaurant.

I'm so glad to hear they love Japanese food and sake, and interested in Japanese food culture.

After learned sake brewing process, 4 types of sake is served and takes time to taste them carefully. We talked about the fragrance, the texture, taste and feeling going down the throat.

Then food samples will be served and enjoying paring the food and sake. Today's guests enjoyed both food samples and sake. Many people are interested in to pairing 3 types of miso and sake. Japanese sweets are also go with certain kind of sake.

Everybody become happy after tasting sake and Japanese food!
