Discover the charm and diverse culture of Japan’s national drink at this special event. A variety of Japanese liquors—Honkaku Shochu and Awamori, made with ingredients such as rice, barley, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, brown sugar, and others—will be presented, along with an explanation of each drink’s unique characteristics.
Christopher Pellegrini, an expert on a myriad of Honkaku Shochu and Awamori, will be among those helping guests explore the craft. Guests will also have the opportunity to taste the drinks together.
Learn how to order drinks in Japanese like a true native.
Entrance free. Please join us and try some authentic Japanese liquor!
