Flight Nights at Mission Bay - Kome Sake Collective!
If your last sake was unremarkable then we believe you will find the sake offered in this flight a revelation. There are hundreds of fine sake breweries in Japan, yet it is only in recent years, that the quality and availability of the sake that made it into the US market has expanded beyond pleasant but generic. Like fine wine, there is much to learn, but it is only in tasting that you truly begin to understand – and more often than not – love sake.
Sake is a perfect fit in our expanding world of food and beverage. Sake pairs perfectly with many elements of a more plant centric diet – some of which, like bitter greens – challenge pairing well with wine. Sake is also free of gluten, sulfites and tannins and is lower than wine in tartaric acidity. Sake also comes in a wide variety of formats and sizes, including individual serving cans.
Sake is not about big bold flavors, rather it invites you to settle into centuries of tradition and savor as you experience exquisite subtlety, beauty and elegance. One could almost say meditation in a glass.
Monica Samuels, Sake Samurai, is the VP of Sake & Spirits for Vine Connections and leads the newly formed, Kome Collective division. She has been around sake from a young age, spending summers as a child in Japan with her grandfather, a sake brewer. She’s worked in the sake business for over ten years, a passion ignited by her early experience in food and beverage.
