There's a big difference between “tasting” and “drinking.” To “taste” means to figure out what a glass of sake is all about. Color, aroma, flavor, balance, body and texture all play a part. By paying attention, to such individual characteristics, we can get a sense of what makes each sake unique, and why some win a coveted Gold Star at the U.S. National Sake Appraisal. April's Aftertaste begins with a talk on how the experts taste sake, using actual Gold Star winners from the 2013 Appraisal as examples. Then we'll put those tips to the test with a tasting of fifty junmai, ginjo and daiginjo labels. Chef Wayne Hirabayashi and his team have put together a perfect menu of sake appetizers to enjoy at The Kahala Hotel & Resort. Reservations may be made online through the Joy of Sake Ticket Store.
