Jizake Sake presents: A Sake Tasting with Sasaki Shuzo and Dinner Pairing by Chef Yuji Ishikata

Sunday, September 29th, 6:00 pm

J-Sei, 1285 66th Street, Emeryville

Join J-Sei and David Sakamoto from Jizake Quest for an enjoyable event featuring a curated sake pairing dinner from Chef Yuji Ishikata and sake from Sasaki Shuzo (Miyagi, Japan). Meet the brewer, Hiroshi Sasaki, the 5th generation President (“kuramoto”) who will present the story about his brewery that was destroyed by an 8-meter tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 and then rebuilt in its original location in the coastal town of Yuriage, a town where 90% of the buildings were devastated from the earthquake and tsunami.

  Join us as we prepare to celebrate Nihonshu no Hi (“Sake Day”) which is celebrated around October 1 each year to signify the start of the new sake brewing season. Chef Yuji Ishikata, a yonsei who develops creative dishes inspired by this Japanese and Chinese heritage, welcomes the opportunity to host guests from Miyagi to share stories and bridges generations through food and memory.
