“Exploring the World of Sake,” hosted by Sen Restaurant in Sag Harbor. Sen is a family-owned Japanese restaurant with a focus on sushi and American-inspired dishes, and it has a wide array of sake products.
Jesse Matsuoka is the founder’s son, and he carries on the legacy and success of the family business as a co-owner and sake sommelier.
“I do a lot of sake education and tastings,” Matsuoka said. “I have this drive to be able to share the wisdom and the intricacies of this beautiful product.”
Guests will enjoy a tasting of a variety of sake products, some from Japan, where the fermented rice beverage originated, and some crafted here on Long Island.
As a certified sake sommelier, Matsuoka has extensive knowledge about sake and a passion for its dynamic history and culture. He will accompany the tasting with an informative talk about each sake that is poured, and guests are free to ask questions to learn more.
