Deets: The Joy of Sake, the world’s largest sake tasting outside Japan, returns to NYC on April 10th with a record 587 competition-level sakes available to taste alongside sake-inspired appetizers from top restaurants, including Sushi by Bou, Bond St, Sakagura, Rule of Thirds, Sake No Hana, Sen Sakana, Towa, Yopparai, Zuma and more.

Now in its 25th year – and 21 years since its debut in NYC in 2004 – The Joy of Sake, which originated in Hawaii, is the biggest sake celebration in New York City’s history. Celebrating the ancient art of sake-brewing, The Joy of Sake is a walkaround tasting where attendees are able to taste the full spectrum of sake styles in the premium daiginjo, ginjo and junmai categories from every sake-brewing region in Japan, including over 350 sakes not otherwise available in the U.S. Sakes are grouped by style so attendees can explore each in depth, including recipients of silver and gold awards from the U.S. National Sake Appraisal, a rigorous blind tasting conducted by 10 judges from the U.S. and Japan that takes place prior to the public event. This is an opportunity to sample bottles of the actual competition entries in excellent condition.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Tickets are $130 and available now!
