About this Event

Why does sake often feel "smooth", while wine feels "sharp"?

Join TANOKE for an intimate guided tasting experience exploring how acidity, umami, texture, and pairing shape the way we experience Japanese sake and wine.

Hosted by Master Sake Sommelier Joshua Kalinan, this returning session features curated Japanese sake selections, expressive Japanese wines, and thoughtfully paired light bites designed to showcase these flavour contrasts firsthand.

Whether you are new to sake or already enjoy wine and Japanese cuisine, this approachable and interactive session offers a relaxed way to discover why different beverages feel so distinct on the palate.

The Experience:
• 3 curated Japanese sake selections
• 3 Japanese wines
• Thoughtfully paired light bites
• Guided tasting by Master Sake Sommelier Joshua Kalinan
• Interactive flavour demonstrations
• An intimate and engaging session

No prior sake or wine knowledge needed.

Limited seats available due to the intimate nature of the session.
