Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this wine & cheese class:

Have you ever tried sake and cheese together? It sounds weird, but they actually go well together, just like wine and cheese.

Sake is one of the ideal drinks that go well with many kinds of dishes because it contains the umami, such as amino acids. The most appealing thing about pairing sake with various foods is that the flavor of the sake changes depending on the dish you’re eating. Even while consuming the same sake, the flavor shows a totally different character when you eat different types of cheese. We would love for you to join us and try all the sake and cheese pairings. Everyone has a different sense of taste so each pairing may vary depending on the person.

We hope to have the New York community to become more open to and familiar with sake. The goal of our event is for guests to discover their favorite sake and cheese pairing and share them with others! In addition, we want to prove that sake can go well with cheese and other American dishes, since cheese is an important part of Western cuisine. We hope you’ll be able to enjoy sake in your own way.

Rei Watanabe, a top sake distributor, will invite you to explore sake by holding a small lecture on the topic. He will introduce the different kinds of sake, how they were made and give the tips of how to enjoy sake. Chiara D’Amore-Klaiman and Alexa Wilkinson from Murray’s Cheese will also be present to introduce their most popular cheese.

Guests will have the opportunity to try 6 kinds sake in mini glasses paired with 5 kinds of cheese. They will have the option of an additional sake order ($3 for a mini glass of sake).

About the Sake
  • Asahi Shuzo
Dassai 50 Junmai Daiginjo [Kosher]

A refreshing, engaging, round flavor are what make the full-bodied Dassai 50 such a popular, well-known, and delicious sake to experts and consumers in Japan and overseas. Excellent with food or alone.
  • Taruhei Shuzo

  • Shata Shuzo
Tengumai Yamahai Junmai

The seemingly effortless harmony so characteristic of Yamahai sake is ever present in Tengumai’s masterful brew. Gorgeous pale straw pour, with a funky mushroom nose to match the acidic, dry and earthy first impression. While savoring the buttery mouthfeel, one may even notice hints of walnut bread and honeyed mead, so keep your eyes peeled. When chilled, the more floral notes come into play. An absolute pleasure to drink at any and all temperatures.

Senpuku Shinriki Muroka Genshu

Shinriki (Divine Power RIce) is made sake production methods from the early 1900’s. Shinriki 85 is produced via the kimoto method and is neither charcoal filtered or water-blended. It has a bountiful aromatic fragrance and flavor profile due to the smaller circumference of the brewing rice.

Shirakawago is superb unfiltered sake made from Hidahomare rice. Blended with Moromi (sake-mash), its mellow flavor and wealthy aroma is best enjoyed chilled or on the rocks. Awarded Silver in the Wine and Spirits Wholesaler’s of America 68th Annual Convention & Exposition Wine Tasting Competition.

  • Sake Meets Cheese

    Anonymous review on 9/18/2017
    It was a great concept and definitely felt the enthusiasm from the Murray's Cheese folls, but there was little to no education abour sake, which seemed like a missed opportunity.
