Sample a wide range of sake in a relaxed environment
We had a 2hr session with Hawaiian Joe. This was a fun way to experience a wide range of sake profiles. Joe is knowledgeable about the sake manufacturing process and in the profiles and flavours of sake.
During the class we sampled them at different temperatures, with snacks, and by combining different sake together. There are a few slides which are interesting to explore the sake process but it's not a lecture.
We sampled about 10 different bottles of sake in total to help understand the different features each sake can bring.

The Absolute Best Sake Experience with Tadashi!
Tadashi was the absolute best host! He explained the differences between the sakes in a way that was super easy to understand and really fun. Even though I’m Japanese, I don't usually drink much, so I had a blast learning so much about sake.

Hawaii Joe is the best
Amazing experience with sake! I drank sake before hand and my wife did not, and both of us learned so much! Hawaii Joe was fantastic for teaching us how to mix sake with food and other sake. Would absolutely recommend!
