Umami Trip: Sake Gumi Pairing @ Daytrip

This event is co-hosted with Daytrip restaurant and will be held at Daytrip NOT at Umami Mart. We will be outdoors so please bring a jacket!

This event is for Sake Gumi members only. Sake Gumi is our monthly sake subscription service with 250 members throughout the country. Join today!

Yay our first event of 2022! And this one is just for you, Sake Gumi members!

In conjunction with our sakes from this month's theme Kayoko's Hometown Pairings: Saitama Sakes + Oakland Eats, we are bringing you a very special event, hosted by Daytrip, an awesome new wine bar and restaurant in Oakland. Jenny Eagleton is a great friend, sake enthusiast (and Gumi member!), and wine director at Daytrip so we thought this would be a natural collaboration.

Co-owner and chef Finn is preparing dynamic dishes to pair alongside two sakes by Kitanishi Brewery of Saitama prefecture, featured in Level 1 and 2 of the club for February: Bunraku Nihonjin no Wasuremono Junmai Yamahai, and Bunraku Junmai Daiginjo. Kitanishi began making sake in 1849 and is located in the town of Ageo; it is a robust brewery with modern facilities, a tasting room, and restaurant (see photos on our blog!).

Here's the menu*:

Celery Salad
lemon verbena, chlorophyll, habanero, aged Sardinian sheep's cheese
paired with Bunraku Nihonjin no Wasuremono Junmai Yamahai

Eggs on Eggs
deviled eggs, smoked trout roe, dijon
paired with Bunraku Junmai Daiginjo

Chicken Liver Mousse
heritage grain brioche, orleans aperitif
paired with Bunraku Nihonjin no Wasuremono Junmai Yamahai

*Changes may occur to the menu; no substitutions; let us know if you have dietary restrictions
