Tuesday Sake Dinners follow Saturday Sake 101 classes
Baltimore, U.S.A. 2012-08-08 — /travelprnews.com/ — WHAT: A new series of hour-long, informative classes dedicated to sake at PABU. Led by Tiffany Soto and PABU’s team of in-house Sake Sommeliers, each Sake 101 class is an interactive tasting of five sakes that will explore various flavour profiles and illustrate the diversity within the genre. With every sip, guests will learn about the libation’s history and brewing process, the meanings behind different grade designations, and how production regions affect taste. Conversation will also delve into the benefits of drinking sake (including its low calorie count) and tips for easily navigating a sake menu in the future.
For those keen to test their newly-acquiredsSake knowledge, PABU is also offering a special five-course Sake Dinner the Tuesday following each class. The menu, artfully constructed by Executive Chef Jonah Kim, will change monthly and feature signature dishes from the restaurant along with a special sake pairing for each course.
