About the Event:

Have you ever wondered how sake is made? Come with us on a tour of New England's only sake brewery and taproom, Farthest Star Sake! We will conclude the tour with an informal gathering enjoying their sake with otsumami (おつまみ) or foods that pair well with alcohol!

Todd Bellomy, owner of Farthest Star Sake, will show us their sake brewing setup and answer questions about the process. Then, guests are welcome to purchase and try their locally brewed sake, which is gluten-free unlike most beer! All sake must be purchased by registrants.

We will be enjoying the sake with otsumami (おつまみ), which are small snacks/dishes that are usually quite salty or flavorful and pair well with alcohol. We will serve snacks from one of our sponsors, Kokoro Care, from their otsumami care package. See here for full list of products to be served. You are also welcome to bring your own food if you would like something more substantial. 

Our post-tour gathering will be a casual gathering until 8pm and is a great way to meet other Japan/sake lovers and enjoy great food, drinks, and company. 

This event is for ages 21+ only. Please bring valid ID. Admission fee covers the tour and otsumami while any sake must be purchased. See what Farthest Star Sake has available on tap here. Switch between the [as-brewed], [infused], and [mixed up] options to see their full selection!
