Classes / Meet the Brewers
Three breweries. One evening of tasting and storytelling.
Meet the Brewers brings together sake makers from three breweries — Tenzan, Tsuji Honten, and Brooklyn Kura — for one special evening of tasting and storytelling, including a U.S. debut. Tenzan Brewery's President Kensuke Shichida will pour Shichida Junmai 'Shunyo,' making its first-ever U.S. appearance at this event. Tsuji Honten's President Soichiro Tsuji will pour Gozenshu 1859, and Brooklyn Kura co-founder and Master Brewer Brandon Doughan will pour Blue Door Junmai.
Each brewer will share the story of their brand and home region, and guide you through the tasting personally — including a close look at the rice behind each bottle. It's a rare chance to taste side by side with the people who actually make the sake, right inside our working NYC sake brewery, with a guided brewery tour to complete the evening.
