Tsubaki Brewers Dinner
Hot on the heels of this past weekend’s World Sake Day celebration, Japanese hotspot Tsubaki in Echo Park will be hosting a Brewer Dinner with Azuma Ichi + Banshu Ikkon. Brewers will introduce their respective sakes, and walk around throughout the dinner to answer questions, chat with guests and more. Two breweries Gochoda Shuzo and Sanyohai Shuzo will be visiting from Japan and bottles will be available for retail purchase (they can be signed by the brewers). Seating will be communal at the restaurant’s indoor tables and bar counter, and the menu is a delicious one-time-only experience. $175 per ticket, includes all food + beverage.
