I'm a fan of Plum Sake which in some cases can taste like an even mix between the two. You can attend tastings to learn where your palate leans with the Japanese Sake/Rice Wine, or you can ask a knowledgeable Spirits Retailer as they tend to know their stock really well. I hope that helps!<br /><br />♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷAscending Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437442022431451505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907583505369170475.post-53820359751461450452013-09-02T21:51:08.207-04:002013-09-02T21:51:08.207-04:00@Bohemian Babushka - I don't think I've sa...@Bohemian Babushka - I don't think I've sat still at all this summer, it's been Go!, Go!, Go! - but I wouldn't have it any other way!<br /><br />♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷAscending Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437442022431451505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907583505369170475.post-89232695705775908912013-09-02T11:56:06.794-04:002013-09-02T11:56:06.794-04:00I've never tried sake but your post has me cur...I've never tried sake but your post has me curious now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05638754322551651119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907583505369170475.post-88704168791015227652013-09-01T23:37:08.850-04:002013-09-01T23:37:08.850-04:00Mujer, you're certainly making up for lost tim...Mujer, you're certainly making up for lost time aren't you?? ♥ following your winged flights!

You hit the nail on the head as I did intend to post my impressions of what I tasted, but I was afraid that the upcoming lectures in the series might get lost in the mix, so I may end up doing a separate post of just my impressions of each Sake. (Great minds do think alike!) :-)<br /><br />♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷAscending Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437442022431451505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907583505369170475.post-52988961775652990512013-08-31T06:24:34.930-04:002013-08-31T06:24:34.930-04:00@Samantha MommycombatTeam - This is actually a fir...@Samantha MommycombatTeam - This is actually a first annual event, it's their first time putting something like this together. I am hoping this does well for the team and they make this an annual event. I have enjoyed a variety of wine, scotch and sake tastings in the City and I love the learning component that goes into the tastings. I definitely had to get a shot of the sake bottle with the butterfly, that specific sake is more fruity than a standard sake (you would probably be served a more 'dry' and less fruity one with Sushi for example) but I did enjoy the taste as well as the lovely bottle!<br /><br />♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷAscending Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437442022431451505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907583505369170475.post-61952353871072900932013-08-31T06:19:19.982-04:002013-08-31T06:19:19.982-04:00@Bobbi Burleson - Sometimes when the pace of New Y...@Bobbi Burleson - Sometimes when the pace of New York City drives me insane, it's nights like this one that remind me why I love this city so! Remember, it's great to reach out to local media teams for museums and cultural centers in your city, you can find out about amazing events that way. I love events that teach me something new, and challenge me in a fun and un-expected way!<br /><br />♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷAscending Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437442022431451505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907583505369170475.post-56441606353718771542013-08-31T06:12:04.433-04:002013-08-31T06:12:04.433-04:00@Finamoon - It was such a beautiful evening and a ...@Finamoon - It was such a beautiful evening and a lovely event. Japanese music and art are among my favorites as well! The hand crafting that goes into each piece of Lacquer Ware makes them a work of art in and of themself.<br /><br />♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷAscending Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437442022431451505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907583505369170475.post-28284645697745007332013-08-31T06:10:12.305-04:002013-08-31T06:10:12.305-04:00@Big Happy Buddha - I found the presentation fasci...@Big Happy Buddha - I found the presentation fascinating, I know a bit about the fermentation process of Rum from having visited the Bacardi Rum Plant in Puerto Rico, but I knew nothing of the process of creating Sake, it was a wonderful way to learn about Sake and see and more rural parts of Japan that are a bit off the beaten path for most tourists!<br /><br />♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷAscending Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437442022431451505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907583505369170475.post-84860058785915478682013-08-30T19:10:53.213-04:002013-08-30T19:10:53.213-04:00What a beautiful event, and I'm sure you'v...What a beautiful event, and I'm sure you've put that sake cup to good use by now ;-) Would love to hear more about your impressions of the sake you tasted.
