We raced through the back yard to Steve and Heather's home for our First Annual Sake Tasting, complete with some tradional foods.

With a detailed presentation from Steve, we had a chance to taste eight sakes. All served cold, except for one. The creamy, unfiltered, white sake was very iteresting and would be a good choice with the appropriate foods. We "donated" a sake that our friend Masami brought to us on his last visit to as the USA and Connecticut.

I'm working on the the tasters' ratings and will give you a final report on the "favorite" sake in a few days. Gotta do the math, you know!

Great hosts, Steve and Heather!

Our seaweed-warm wakame- salad was well- received and the "hit of the evening" was Masumi's green tea ice cream. Wonderful!! Great for a first time creation, eh?

Can you find and name all the sake tasters here?
