Japanese Spirits Soiree Is Back! Third Year, and lets keep exploring!

from DC Sake cō Hosted by Reiko

In this episode, host Reiko of DC Sake co. announces the return of the Japanese Spirits Soiree — now in its third year — taking place Sunday, July 12th at Hotel ZENA in Washington DC. General admission guests can taste their way through an incredible lineup of Japanese spirits: whisky, vodka, rum, gin featuring uniquely Japanese botanicals like sansho pepper and shiso, shochu at higher ABVs that are catching the attention of US bartenders, and even Japanese bitters and aperitivos. VIP ticket holders get an exclusive deep-dive tasting session with Sekk Sato Shiki, a brand new to the US market whose Single Grain whisky — made from 88% Koshihikari rice — is challenging everything we think we know about whisky. Plus, VIP guests enter a raffle for the chance to purchase rare, limited-release bottles. Come thirsty, come curious.
