Join sake sommelier and educator Erika Haigh for a one-off sake tasting event Upstairs.
Guests will be guided through four of Erika's personal collections of sake. Erika will then open up the floor for questions - it will be a relaxed introduction to conversations surrounding terroir, provenance, and the emerging world of Japanese beverages within the UK market.
Erika will showcase the following sake's throughout the evening:
1. Sparkling Rosé
A fruity yet refined sparkling sake made using a special yeast strain that naturally produces a gorgeous rose colour.
2. Iwate Homare Junmai Ginjo
This sake's fruity nature is well-balanced by notes of yoghurt and a clean finish. A modern interpretation of the traditional ‘kimoto’ brewing method.
3. Sadaijin Junmai
This creamy and complex sake with notes of banana, melon, milk chocolate, bran, and a touch of baking spice, has proven itself to be a crowd-pleaser.
4. Yamada Juro
Using specialty plums from Odawara, this premium ‘umeshu’ plum sake is elegantly sweet, tart, tangy, and full of flavour.
