The Joy of Sake returns to its elegant new venue at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. Over 300 sakes will be available for tasting, along with appetizers presented by 12 of Honolulu’s finest restaurants.
Sake tasting areas are set up along the Academy’s cool, open corridors, with restaurant stations located in five patio areas. It’s hard to imagine a more appealing venue for a tasting of the world’s finest sakes.
The Joy of Sake is the largest sake-tasting ouside Japan, and has been held annually since 2001. It features premium sakes submitted as entries to the U.S. National Sake Appraisal, a rigorous blind tasting held in Honolulu every year with ten judges from Japan and the U.S.
