ABOUT SAKE

Sake made its first international debut at the 1872 Vienna International Expo, under the name "Nihonshu". Although sake has been in existence in Japan for over a two thousand years, it’s recent resurgence in the Japanese and international market is partially due to its elegance and versatility when paired with other cuisines. Unlike other alcohols, most sake is produced in small batches at artisanal breweries and is considered craft with many distinct classifications. Kampai Toronto is a rare opportunity to experience the depth and complexity of this culturally significant Japanese beverage and tradition.

This is an age 19+ event.
