On Friday night, I attended a sake sampling at Heart of Gold, which is where I went for last year's Thanksgiving dinner. A friend, Matt, was holding the event and also provided some delicious food as well:
I met the local sake expert, Robert, and was treated to lots of interesting information about different types of sake from Shizuoka as well as the history of sake in this prefecture. Here is a picture of me with Robert below:
Robert had brought four types of sake from one local brewery for us to sample. We drank them in increasing order of quality. The first two went well with the food we were eating. The third was quite nice by itself. The last and best one had quite a complex taste to it and I found it went well with the ice cream that we had for dessert, although not everyone agreed with me on that.
Later on, some others joined us to help finish the bottles we had started. Although this group has met before a few times, it was my first time. I was glad to find out about this group since I haven't met many others who enjoy finding out about the different types of sake and examining them closely. I'm looking forward to the next time the sake sampling group meets.
