Founder-Led Tasting With Daisuke Nakajima and Curated Bites From Chef Koji of Odo East Village
This guided tasting—led by Daisuke Nakajima, founder of BŌKEN, a company dedicated to bringing distinctive, small-production Japanese sake to the United States while supporting historic breweries —explores what's actually in your glass, from how sake is brewed to the factors that shape its aroma, texture, and structure.
Alongside the pours, guests will experience a series of bites from Odo East Village, a seasonally driven kaiseki izakaya from the Odo team. Prepared by chef Koji, these pairings reveal just how well sake performs at the table, moving across dishes in ways that may surprise you..
