Hi Andrea, thanks for participating.

I was wondering if the range of new sakes that have become available over the past decade has impacted your work at all. Have you ever been asked to pair sake with American/European cuisine?

this was the first question I addressed but maybe I hit the wrong button - take two!

one of my fondest Windows memories was the sake tasting/pairing for our club members - everything from seared foie gras to fried calamari.

It is a magical beverage for pairing with non-Japanese food. Wine & spirits Mag are experts in this area, and several rock star somm's have made it their specialty - eg Steven Olson and Roger Dagorn.

Enjoy!
