The Goal of this Exhibition

The aim of our sake exhibition is to encourage and help guests become familiar and comfortable with sake so that they can have it with their meals and outside of the exhibition.

In addition, our exhibition differs particularly from sake tastings. There is a gap at normal tasting events that creates only a short-lived impression on attendees. The guest cannot tell the difference between many kinds of sake and it is easy to forget about sake brands and even their names as well. As a solution, we decided to hold a long term exhibition to entice a longer lasting relationship between guests and our sake as well has display the great Sake Map in NYC so that they know all about where to shop for their new discovered sake!

We hope that you will discover your favorite sake and food pairing at the exhibition and also enjoy your everyday meals with sake!
