Follow on Google News | Sake To Me: Greater Boston Restaurant Shares the Secrets of Pairing Sake and Asian FoodChina Blossom Restaurant & Lounge is dedicating a night to educating guests on the wonders of this unique drink with a “Sake to Me” dinner.
By: China Blossom Restaurant & Lounge Certified Sake Professional, and author of The Passionate Foodie blog, Richard Auffrey, will guide guests through the meal as they sample Junmai, Junmai Gingo and Kimoto/Yamahai sakes along with dishes from China Blossom like Peking ravioli (pan-fried pork dumplings with a homemade ginger sauce), tung ting shrimp (jumbo shrimp lightly sautéed with vegetables), pepper steak (wok-stirred steak with green and red bell peppers) and more. For $40 per person, guests will enjoy three courses, each expertly paired with a sake, followed by an aperitif of sparkling sake to refresh the palate and end the night on a bubbly note. Sake originated in China, but it was the Japanese who mastered the brewing of this intriguing drink. It shares similarities with both wine and beer although it is neither, and just as it takes a special grape to make a good wine, the production of premium sake requires a special type of rice that is larger and contains more starch than what is typically eaten. By sharing his wealth of knowledge, Auffrey aims to spread his appreciation for sake by giving tips on tasting, selecting and pairing sake for any occasion and palate. Reservations are required.
