“Sushi (SOO-shee), a Japanese specialty based on boiled rice flavored with a sweetened Rice Vinegar.” And you thought it was just raw fish. Actually, according to the Food Lover’s Companion, it can be raw fish and so much more. Vegetables, raw or cooked fish, meats and more are enclosed in sushi rice and wrapped in thin sheets of Nori (seaweed). Cut into slices, sushi can be served as appetizers, snacks or a full meal.  There will also be a demonstration of how sushi is made.

A representative from Gekkiekan will be on hand to discuss the the sakes and Plum wine.

Sake is a naturally fermented alcoholic beverage classified in the same general category with wine and beer. These beverages are made through a fermentation process which, essentially is the conversion of glucose into alcohol through the work of koji (fungi enzyme) and yeast. Sake is made from the simple ingredients of rice and water. Containing no artificial additives, enhancers or sulfites, Gekkeikan sake is completely natural. It is also a great way to add unique flavor to your favorite dishes. Like beer and wine, sake is lower in both alcoholic content and calories when compared to distilled liquors. But unlike wine and distilled liquors, freshness is the key to good taste.   Join us for a great evening of sushi, sake and fun.
