Sumosan Twiga might already be cutting edge in its combination of fresh Japanese dishes and authentic Italian cuisine, but it is looking to give its customers an experience like no other. From the 29th of September, the restaurant will be hosting Sake tastings, where foodies and oenologists alike can learn more about the Japanese libation, whilst enjoying an especially created pairing menu.
We hosted a sneak-preview for a select number of press and influencers last week for this exclusive partnership and we can safely say, this is going to be an unmissable event.
World Sake Day is on the 1st of October, and the series of classes will sandwich this, running on the three key dates of Wednesday 20th October, Tuesday 2nd November, and Wednesday 17th November. All classes will be hosted by Marie Cheong-Thong, the renowned Sake educator, taking participants through sixty minutes of Sake know-how, tasting bottles from Sumosan Twiga’s own cellar including the likes of Mio Sparkling, Azure Sake and Dassai 39. The bespoke accompanying menu has been designed to complement the variety of Sakes being tasted and includes iconic dishes such as wasabi prawns, truffle cream arancini and kobe sliders.
Marie is a board director of the British Sake Association, and member of the Circle of Wine Writers, the Association of Wine Educators, and the Japanese Culinary Academy.
She comments, “it’s such a privilege to partner with a renowned establishment like Sumosan Twiga to continue to spread the word of Sake. Sumosan Twiga prides itself providing a dining experience, not just a meal, and I know these classes will be a wonderful opportunity to elevate this even further.”
