Sake Masterclass: From Brewery to Table

Join us for a one-night-only Sake Masterclass: From Brewery to Table, hosted by Deja Vu Sake at Zushi Surry Hills.

For this special evening, we welcome three renowned sake makers — Mr. Kubota of Fukuju, Mr. Shichida of Shichida and David of Zenkuro NZ — bringing guests face-to-face with the people behind the bottle.

Throughout the evening, each brewer will share the story of their brewery, their approach to sake making and the unique characteristics of the sake selected for the night.

Alongside the masterclass, enjoy a specially curated Zushi tasting menu with matched sake pairings, designed to showcase how different styles of sake complement Japanese flavours.

Begin with a welcome highball before moving through the paired tasting menu, from sashimi and salmon tartlet to prawn cigar, miso salmon, wagyu and a miso caramel cream puff to finish.

More than a sake dinner, this is an opportunity to meet the brewers, discover the craft behind each bottle and experience sake from brewery to table.
