Yuzuki Japanese Eatery In San Francisco To Host Sake Class

Yuzuki Japanese Eatery in San Francisco will host a sake class on Sunday, September 11, 2016 from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m.

The class will be taught by Sake Sommelier and Yuzuki Sake director Yoshihiro Sako and costs $50.00 per person. It is advised that you buy your tickets in advance, which can be done at www.yuzukisf.com or by emailing to Yoshi@yuzukisf.com.

The class, "Sake Brewing and Regionality," is designed for people who already have some basic knowledge of sake. It will include otsumami (snacks to complement the sake) and tastings from one of each of the four main categories of sake. It will also highlight classifications (how they differ, process and flavor characteristics), review the relationship between sake and umami, discuss what koji is, and the difference between wine and sake.

A native of Japan, Sako developed a passion for sake while working in San Francisco. In 2008 he received his Kikisake (Sake Sommelier) license from the Sake Service Institute & Kikisake Guild. The following year, he completed an apprenticeship working as a kurabito (brewer) at Kubota Shuzo in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan and still maintains many connections to Japanese breweries. In addition, he gained a knowledge of wine by working for 5 years as a buyer/manager for a sake and wine shop/bar.
