New York City’s biggest sake celebration, The Joy of Sake returns on April 30th with 492 different sakes from throughout Japan and the U.S. available for tasting along with sake-themed appetizers from top New York restaurants. The event of the year for sake enthusiasts as well as those curious about sake. Tickets include appetizers from participating restaurants and unlimited samplings of sake.

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 293 sakes not otherwise available in the U.S. Sakes are grouped by style so attendees can explore each style 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.
