This year marks the tenth year of The Joy of Sake: America's Largest Sake Celebration, and for the second year in a row the event is at the Honolulu Academy of Arts.
As a special perk for Academy members, Joy of Sake will again have premium tables.
This year, the premium tables will be cordoned off in an exclusive VIP area.
This members-only benefit was a hit last year—they sold out in days.
On the menu this year will be more than 300 sakes to taste and pair with tasting plates from some of Honolulu's best restaurants—
Chai's Island Bistro, Doraku,
Hoku's,
Lewers Lounge, Nobu Waikiki, Hakkei,
Gyotaku,
Town,
Yuzen, Zenshu,
Marian's Izakaya,
Cakeworks.
Ceramists from the Linekona Art Center will sell handmade sake cups at the event.
Show your support and purchase a cup. There are a limited number available so be sure not to miss it.
Or be green and bring your own.
There are no more tickets available. Sorry!
Special event for Joy of Sake attendees:
The Academy will once again host a Sake 101 tasting workshop for Academy members only, led by sake expert and Joy of Sake founder Chris Pearce on Thursday August 12 from 6 to 7pm at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. This educational event is held one week prior to Joy of Sake to arm you with knowledge that will help you get the most out of the event.
Sake 101 is limited to 50 Academy members who have purchased tickets to the 2010 Joy of Sake. Once you purchase your tickets, reserve your space at this fun sipping-and-learning session by calling 808-832-8722.
