We know that you are all currently finalizing your April calendars with annual Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival of Greater Philadelphia plans. But wait! Don’t hit “save” on your iCal just yet. On Wednesday, April 9, Loews Hotel in Center City is hosting Saké Fest 2008, an evening in which many, many sakés will be available for the tasting and in which many, many Anglos are likely to get completely sloshed in process. But it’s all for the love of culture, dahling:
Participants attending the Saké Festival will experience dozens of saké varieties, taste the finest Japanese and American brands of saké, and will learn how to pair it with any type of food. Samples of premium and several rare sakés will be available, as will regionally micro brewed “jizake”, which means small, regional saké brewer. Prominent chefs from area restaurants and catering facilities will prepare and serve a selection of appetizers and foods that complement different types of saké. An assortment of cheeses will also be paired with the sakés.
Jizaké? Oh dear. I think we’re going to need a translator.
