Meet World Famous Sake Brewer Kyota Murai and Sample a $700 Bottle of
Sake!
New York Vintners is thrilled to host Kyota Murai, the President of Momokawa Brewing Japan on Monday, November 9th at 6:30 PM for an evening of Sake and Asian small plates and the ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME opportunity to taste the record setting Nanbu Toji Gold Medal Saké amongst other family selections. Kyota's family saké brewery holds the Japan national record for the number of years in a row to receive a Nanbu Toji gold medal. Kyota will pour the family's 60th gold medal winner from the exclusive Nanbu Toji Saké Competition and share his insights into the American saké trend. "It is a great honor to have achieved this recognition for so many years. It is the hard work of our Master Toji (brewer) and his entire team," noted Mr. Murai. "To share it with our friends in NY will be a special experience since there is so little bottled each year." Few bottles of each year's contest entry make it to market and even fewer cross the Pacific to be found in the U.S. "We've seen a few bottles here in New York the past few years but usually in very exclusive locations," noted Chris Johnson, Japanese certified saké sommelier and New York saké expert. "The Nanbu Toji is an exclusive association of saké brewers, currently Japanese most regarded, and the gold medal winner is always a very special saké. One you have to sip to fully understand." The Nanbu Toji Association is the leading collective of saké brewers in Japan. The annual competition holds its members to the quality criteria as defined by the association and only those that adhere to this strict standard are recognized. The 60 years of gold medals achieved by Momokawa Brewing Japan is unsurpassed. Come for the rare Nanbu Toji gold medal winner, explore Murai Family Saké, and gain a personal insight into saké evolution in America. |
