Lee Anne’s flavorful dishes—some umami-rich and bold, others light and piquant—will be served along with an array of 2014 U.S. National Sake Appraisal gold- and silver-award winners not available in the U.S. No two labels are alike, making for an exciting evening of sake-sipping and dining enjoyment.
The May 13 Aftertaste is a sit-down affair. Come relax over sake cocktails, then enjoy four courses paired with daiginjo A, daiginjo B, ginjo and junmai sakes. A surprise dessert rounds out the evening.
Seating is limited to ONLY 40 people. This dinner is assigned seating. If you’d like to sit with friends, please indicate on the Eventbrite reservation page when you buy your ticket. We will try to accommodate the seating requests as best we can.
About Lee Anne
Chef Lee Anne Wong finished in the final four of Bravo TV’s hit reality series Top Chef, defeated Food Network Iron Chef Marc Forgione in Battle: Halloween and keeps a national profile on Cooking Channel’s Unique Eats. But for native New Yorker Lee Anne, Hawaii is now home. It’s where she opened her first restaurant, Koko Head Cafe, in partnership with local restaurateur Kevin Hanney. And it’s where the star chef will open her second this summer: Hale Ohuna, Hawaii’s first noodle and sake bar.
