Dan Ozu was very knowledgeable about Japanese whiskies. He catered my tasting based on what I liked. He knew which whiskies came from which Prefactures, as well as explaining the history behind Japanese whiskies. Overall, I give Dan 10/10 for his knowledge and experience. I'll definitely do this tasting again when I'm in Tokyo.

Ms. Junko Yokoo is a high quality, professional tour guide. She is very caring and demonstrated exceptional knowledge about Okinawan culture. While showing my wife and I around Okinawa, the Awamori Distillery and Cave Expedition, we could see that Ms. Junko was the embodiment of the Okinawan culture. Ms. Junko provided a warm and personal atmosphere which had a positive influence toward our understanding and appreciation of Okinawa, Okinawan’s and the rich Ryukyuan history. Ms. Junko explained in detail the history of the Distillery, the Cave, and afterwards took us to a traditional Okinawan restaurant where we were delighted to eat delicious traditional Okinawan food. Having worked on Okinawa several years ago I know how delicious Okinawan food can be. Ms. Junko took us to a local Okinawan restaurant where the locals eat, and the taste of the food was a night and day difference in comparison to the food where most tourists tend to dine. Ms. Junko Yokoo is an excellent tour guide and a great asset to the byFood team. We highly recommend this tour and Ms. Junko Yokoo as your tour guide!

Discover the Delights of Vegetarian Sake Tastings

Embark on a unique culinary journey that expertly pairs the delicate flavors of vegetarian dishes with the rich and diverse profiles of sake. Whether you are a seasoned vegetarian or simply seeking to explore new culinary horizons, our vegetarian sake tastings offer a delightful, sensory-rich experience that highlights both the subtlety and complexity of Japanese cuisine. Discover how sake, Japan’s iconic rice wine, can complement and enhance the purity of vegetarian flavors through expertly curated tastings.

A Unique Japanese Culinary Experience

Japan is renowned for its intricate culinary traditions, and sake is an integral part of its culture. Sake is known for its versatility, offering a range of flavors and aromas that can either contrast with or enhance different foods. In a vegetarian sake tasting, you can expect a thoughtfully curated selection of both traditional and contemporary dishes crafted from fresh, seasonal vegetables, tofu, seaweed, and other plant-based ingredients, all designed to harmonize with various types of sake. Each tasting session promises to deliver a profound appreciation for the balance and harmony that Japanese food culture strives for. By focusing on vegetarian dishes, the natural umami flavors are often more pronounced, allowing for a new level of gustatory exploration.

The Perfect Pairings

During these tastings, learn how to pair different types of sake with vegetarian dishes to elevate your dining experience. From crisp and floral Junmai Daiginjo and its perfect match with lightly seasoned salads or vegetable sushi, to the robust and full-bodied flavors of Junmai sake that pair splendidly with grilled vegetable dishes or deep-fried tempura, your palate will be exposed to a symphony of tastes. Even the more adventurous, like sake with a fruity undertone, can find a perfect companion in spicy vegetable curry or traditional Japanese pickled vegetables known as tsukemono. Our experts in sake and vegetarian cuisine will guide you through the intricacies of pairing, ensuring an educational yet enjoyable experience. You will leave with not only a satisfied palate but a deeper understanding of how versatile and satisfying vegetarian meals can be when paired with the right drink.
