Drinking with Kazuhiro Sakurai of Asahi Shuzo Sake Brewery

Tuesday, June 20th 2006

My friend KC of Astor Wine & Spirit had asked if I wanted to join him to go Sake drinking with Kazuhiro Sakurai of the Asahi Shuzo Sake Brewery which creates Dassai, one of my favorite Sakes. I jumped at the chance, being a Sake Connisour. Also in attendance were Tim of Urban Sake fame and Warren, a Spirit buyer and fellow employee at Astor.

We met at Matsuri (369 W 16th St, by 9th Ave), which is an awesome place to go if you love Sake as their list had well over 200 different Sakes available.
