For most people, sake is nothing more than a shot best dropped into beer, but this Japanese rice wine is steeped in history and tradition. Don’t miss our exclusive sake tasting with specialist Michael Simkin. Under Michael’s expert guidance, we will sample 5 sakes with some Japanese snacks and learn all about the history of sake, how it’s made and what all the different levels represent. This animated sake genius has visited or brewed at most sake houses in Japan, and now he’s here in Boston to share his knowledge and favorite sakes with us. A hardcore devotee, Michael’s love of the Japanese culture extends from his sake fascination to his wife who he met in Japan (sweet love story!) Read more about Michael Simkin here.

Go “beyond the bomb” with this awesome event!
