A British sake expert is helping to increase sake appreciation among Tokyo’s foreign residents and visitors using translations and detailed descriptions of their flavours and background, The Japan Times reported on 15 January.
Chris Hughes, who is employed by Liquor Innovation K.K., delivered the information at Kurand Sake Market in Asakusa, Taito Ward, where guests sampled over 100 varieties.
According to Hughes, the event is “like a workshop and an international party where people can learn more about sake and each other at the same time”.
