Shell and Sake

"Sake does not get into fights with food." --Japanese proverb

Psst, your sommelier is hiding something from you--while white wines are great, one of the best pairing choices for oysters and seafood is Japanese sake. That's why we're on a mission to let the world know oysters and sake play so well together.

Join W&T Seafood and SakaMai for a unique oyster and sake pairing event at NYC's first dedicated sake lounge (157 Ludlow St at Stanton) on Monday, May 6th at 6:30 pm. In a casual, approachable setting, we'll explore a wide range of sakes (some with unusual yeasts and filtering techniques) and taste a diverse selection of oysters from the East and West Coasts, from creamy to briny to metallic. Yasuyuki Suzuki from SakaMai and Nellie Wu from W&T Seafood will guide you through each pairing, while sharing the faces, places and stories behind each sake and oyster. Bring your questions!

Tickets cost $75 and include one dozen oysters (2 each of 6 different types) paired with 6 sakes. Space is limited, so be sure to purchase your ticket sooner rather than later. Note that you must be 21 to attend.
