Meet, Sip & Discover Sake — Dry vs. Fruity

For our first gathering, the theme will be: Dry vs. Fruity Sake 🍶

◆ What we’ll do
We’ll get together in a private home in San Francisco’s SoMa area, near the former Twitter building, and taste a small selection of sake side by side.
We’ll begin with a short introduction to sake basics, followed by a guided tasting of each bottle while learning about the brewery, the sake itself, and the story behind it🌾
We’ll also serve small, one-bite food pairings so you can experience how sake changes when enjoyed with food.
Note: Food pairings will be small finger-food portions rather than a full meal.
◆ Cost
The total cost will be approximately $21–$25 per person.
- For each event, there will be 4 different bottles of sake (750 ml each), with a total cost of around $160.
- The 10 of us will split the cost, which comes to roughly $16 per person.
- I’ll also prepare small finger foods to pair with the 4 different bottles, which will be around $5 per person.
Please note that there is no markup, and the organizer does not make a profit from the event.
◆ Group Size
We keep the gathering small, at around 10 people, so everyone has a chance to taste, talk, ask questions, and share their impressions.
