Rooted in Akashi, Hyogo since 1856, the Yonezawa family's brewing tradition has evolved across generations and today extends into sake, whisky, and gin. As both toji of Akashi Sake Brewery and the master distiller and blender behind Hatozaki whisky, Yonezawa-san offers a rare opportunity to explore these different crafts through the philosophy, traditions, and experiences of the person behind them.
Joining him is Komatsu-san, an SSI-certified Sake Sommelier and WSET Certified Educator who has spent her career sharing Japanese sake and its stories with audiences around the world.
Hosted at The Roost, we'll taste through selections alongside a variety of bites while hearing stories from the brewery, exploring Yonezawa-san's approach to each craft, and having the opportunity to ask questions in an intimate setting.
As a special surprise: Guests who place an order following the tasting will have one bottle from their order personally signed by Yonezawa-san.
One family. One brewery. Three stories. Join us as we dive deeper with the people who live them.
