Pre-Purim Sake Tasting Led by Andy Bender

いらっしゃいませ！Irasshaimase (Welcome)!

Come join the Mishkon community for our annual pre-Purim tasting, following Havdalah!

This year’s drink is sake, the traditional rice beverage of Japan. At this fun event, you’ll learn about:

· Different types of sake

· The unique brewing process

· Sake customs and etiquette

· Sake’s key role in Japanese culture and spirituality

The tasting will be led by Mishkon board member Andy Bender, an award-winning travel and food writer. Andy lived in Japan for years, speaks fluent Japanese, and returns to Japan several times annually to lead tours, especially food tours. He has brought back a sampling of sakes from Japan especially for this tasting, and we’ll also try some locally available bottles.*
