Sake

I get excited when I see a sake flight on a tasting menu. It’s a fun way to explore the range this traditional Japanese beverage offers. This year, the category showcased sparkling, fruit-forward and classic styles. Having lived in Japan, I appreciate sake’s versatility with food and it’s also great in a cocktail. I suggest treating sake like a dry white wine. It makes a thoughtful and unexpected dinner party gift. - Laurie MacKay
