#tozaisake

You probably know I work in the wine industry but you may not know that I’m a HUGE nerd for sake. Thank you so much Monica Samuels and @accidentalbarnyc for having me at this Tozai Summer of Sake virtual tasting seminar! All of these sakes are delicious, but what was new to me was my new favorite cocktail, the matcha maiden! (The Tozai Snow Maiden nigori with matcha powder and optional agave. I’m a matcha purist so I went without.) It’s DELICIOUS. I can’t wait to visit Accidental Bar next time I’m in NYC (NYC friends go there please so I can live vicariously) and drink sake irresponsibly. 😊 (Last photo is my tasting partner Queen, who got too sloshed to share her tasting notes.) #sake #tozaisake #sakeeducation #sakecocktail #summerofsake https://www.instagram.com/p/CRSGNXEDTX6/?utm_medium=tumblr

(02/08/21) 2020-2021 Coronavirus House Arrest Day 329 - In the ongoing bungling of rolling out the coronavirus shot (please stop calling it a "vaccine" because by definition it isn't), the state of California is now prioritizing cannabis workers while school teachers continue to be pushed further down the list yet they what all schools to open ASAP! With the bar officially open until we are free to FULLY roam uninhibited, today's elixir is this bottle of sake: The latest under $15-priced find from @SuperKingMarkets - a screw-off cap, clear color, honeydew peach rice aroma, low body, honeydew rice sweet flavor, refreshing finish, rice aftertaste, and low astringency - Snow Maiden #JunmaiNigori Paired with homemade vegetable ramen. Drank and dined while watching "Spycraft" streaming on @Netflix. Continue to stay safe, wear a face covering, wash your hands, and drink plenty of liquids! . . . #TozaiSake #Sake #Japan #Kanpai #SakeLover #SakeTasting #InstaSake (at Silver Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLE1OYsD2V7/?igshid=1hlgalk8rsgmr
