On Friday the 5th to Sunday the 7th of April, the Craft Sake Tasting Night was held in the The Knot’s MORETHAN Tapas Lounge. Many people attended the event over the three days, and enjoyed tasting the selection of new season sake.

A choice of six sakes from both big and small makers was on offer:
・Honjozo (sake with alcohol added in the brewing process for subtle flavour changes) by Hakaisan Ltd from Niigata prefecture
・Ose no Yukidoke peach coloured nigori (cloudy style sake) by Ryujin Sakedukuri from Gunma prefecture
・Hakurakusei junmai ginjo (pure sake) by Niisawa Joutsukuriten from Miyagi prefecture
… and more

The guests chose three sakes to taste side by side.
As it was cherry blossom season, a sake dyed naturally pink using red yeast was particularly popular. Another crowd favorite was a rare and unusual sake that tasted like the yoghurt-based drink Calpis.

Pinchos pairing for the sake was provided by the MORETHAN Tapas Lounge.

he knowledgeable hostess taught the guests how to appreciate and enjoy sake in new ways.
