Saké and Cheese — A Natural Pairing

We recently sat in on a saké and cheese pairing hosted by Charles Communications Associates. The online tasting featured saké made in Forest Grove, Oregon by SakéOne as well as saké imported from Japan by SakéOne. Each of the four sakés was paired with a different cheese provided by Marin French Cheese Company, Laura Chenel and Rogue River Blue Cheese. As we discovered during the tasting, saké makes a great partner for cheese.

SakéOne – Premium Saké Made in Oregon

Just about one year ago, we tasted a selection of saké made by SakeOne, a premium saké brewer located in Forest Grove, Oregon. We were sent several samples of infused saké which we tasted on their own and used to make cocktails. We wrote about that experience in a prior post.

We recently received four tasting samples from SakéOne and participated in tasting via Twitter. We learned quite a bit about SakéOne and saké.

Sake Sunday

We decide to try some sake this weekend. We knew very little about sake but had recently watched a video of Lucy Brennan, owner of Mint/820 in Portland, Oregon making sake cocktails.
