Sake Joy

The Joy of Sake is the largest sake-tasting event held outside Japan, featuring almost every brewing style and selections from every region of Japan. That's 327 selections to try! Well, I didn't try all of them. In fact, I probably only tried a few and I tend to look for interesting bottles and labels first. As far as sake goes, I can't tell a Daiginjo from a Junmai. But sake is fun to taste, especially winners and exclusives that aren't available domestically. But what makes this event even more joyful is the food. Selections from Chai's, Doraku, Hakkei, Halekulani, Hoku's, Kaiwa, Nobu Waikiki, Marians, Gyotaku, Hanamaru, Wasabi & Nadaman (that chicken ball soup with radish was awesome) and CakeWorks. Truly a joy–of sake and food.
