Please join Oliver Hilton-Johnson and Marie Cheong-Thong as they delve into the history, ingredients and styles of Japan’s national beverage: Sake, alongside delicious morsels from the Oystermen.
Fine sake – arguably as nuanced as wine, and of a similar alcohol content – can be enjoyed chilled, warmed and with a wide variety of food. Lauded by Japanese chefs for its high umami content (the fifth taste) and its ability to enhance the food it pairs with, sake is gaining a notable following amongst western chefs, wine enthusiasts and gourmands alike. Unlock the secrets of Japanese sake in this session.
Attendees will also enjoy a carefully paired selection of seafood dishes from The Oystermen (Best Restaurant OFM Awards 2019).
Oliver Hilton-Johnson is a Sake Specialist & Scholar, and the Director of award-winning Tengu Sake who focus exclusively on bringing premium Japanese sake to the UK market. Among Marie Cheong-Thong many accolades, she is a WSET certified Sake Educator teaching sake courses at various schools including WSET. She is also the International Educator for the Sake School of America for both their Sake and Shochu courses.
