Did someone say sushi? Or was it sake? Either way it got our attention, and we experienced both in all of their splendor at this week’s live broadcast from Ginza Sushi!

Our celebrity co-host this week was Scot Litteer of Litteer Films who got us current with his latest cinematography projects, as well as his latest pursuits on the craft brew scene. We also welcomed Aric Mussman of Noble Hops who walked us through the menu for his upcoming beer dinner showcasing suds from the Odell Brewing Company. Our featured guest was Ginza’s own Kurt Vlahos who called the class to order with Sake 101. He talked about the traditional Japanese rice wine and treated us to some samples of both dry and sweet sakes. He then unveiled some beautiful sushi dishes, giving our taste buds the opportunity to take a tour of some delish raw fish, along with some baby octopodes from his Izakaya menu.  It was sad to say sayonara at the end of this show!
