There will even be a representative from Shimizu-No-Mai attending to offer insight on sake and the distilling process. The menu for the evening will feature:
Pure Sake & Salmon Tartare: The salmon tartare is glazed in a wasabi mustard and paired with pickled Japanese cucumbers and jalapeños. The Pure Sake has a sweet taste to balance the acidity in the dish.
Pure Dawn & Peeketoe Crab Dumplings: The subtle notes of pear and Fuji apple in the Pure Dawn Sake pair perfectly with the peeketoe crab dumplings that are made with myoga ginger and scallions.
Pure Dusk & Miso Butter Poached Sea Bass: Hints of fresh orange and cantaloupe in the Pure Dusk Sake are refreshing and balance the rich miso butter poached sea bass.
Pure Night & Spiced Pork Mignon: The citrusy Pure Night Sake pairs with the spiced pork mignon that is coated in a signature sugar-spice rub, served with fresh red curry and ginger-butter asparagus.
Pure Snow & Chocolate Coconut Macaroon: With light hints of ginger, Pure Snow Sake pairs best with dessert. The spice of the ginger notes complement the sweet, rich macaroon.
The event, which begins at 8 p.m., is $80 per person. Grab your reservations today by calling the restaurant.
