This Monday, October 27th from 4 – 7 PM, we invite you to join us at Tiffany’s Wine & Spirits for a special Sake Tasting featuring UKA, a remarkable producer crafting organic Junmai Daiginjo sake of rare purity and elegance.
Whether you’re already a sake enthusiast or simply curious to explore something new, this tasting is a welcoming, guided introduction to one of Japan’s most storied and expressive beverages.
What Makes UKA Sake Special?
UKA is crafted at the intersection of tradition and modern sustainability. Their sake is made using:
-
100% organic rice
-
Meticulously polished grains (Junmai Daiginjo level, the highest classification of premium sake)
-
Pure spring water
-
Slow, careful fermentation
The result is sake that is incredibly clean, balanced, and aromatic — sake that reflects the land and the hands that cultivated it.
UKA translates to “emergence” — a nod to the delicate wings of a butterfly and the craft that transforms rice into something ethereal.
What We’ll Be Tasting
You’ll have the opportunity to sample three distinct styles, each with its own personality and flavor story:
🐚 Sparkling Sake Organic Junmai Daiginjo
Light, elegant, and softly effervescent.
Expect notes of white flower, pear, and citrus, with a delicate texture and refreshing finish. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with sushi, oysters, or creamy cheeses.
🌾 Dry Organic Junmai Daiginjo
Refined and food-friendly.
Aromas of green apple, pear, and subtle anise, with a smooth mineral character and long, graceful finish. This is a sake that complements dishes beautifully — from grilled fish to charcuterie to roasted vegetables.
🦋 Black Label Organic Junmai Daiginjo
Full-bodied, silky, and expressive.
Layered notes of strawberry, pineapple, and honey, rounded by a luxurious texture and soft floral finish. A sake to sip slowly and savor.
Why Taste Sake With Us?
At Tiffany’s, we love helping people discover new flavors, new pairings, and new favorites. If sake feels unfamiliar, don’t worry — we’ll guide you through how to taste it, what to notice, and how to pair it with food you already love.
This is a relaxed, drop-in tasting — no tickets, no pressure, just come sip and explore.
