So last year at this time\u00a0I had a chance to attend KAMPAI! Festival of Sake \u00a0with a good friend Ken Sammual @inyourmouthto<\/a> he is a sake tasting master it was\u00a0definitely\u00a0a great time I got to try several different sakes & I can totally taste the difference between each one very distinct then tasting between different wines. Its all about the different kind of water that is used to make sake. They had 100+ sakes, 36 brewers, 41 brands there representing them selves I didn’t get to try them but the ones I did were very good

\nThis year its May 30th in the Distillery District<\/p>\n

But before I started tasting the sake at the festival I got treated to sake tasting of 6 different sakes & educational learning seminar on sake an hour or 2 before the festival started
\nSo that was very cool & was really awesome learned so much from that session so I understood and\u00a0appreciated\u00a0it more.<\/p>\n

The 2013 edition will forgo the sake tasting seminar make room for double of the Japanese\u00a0restaurants\u00a0that were there last year\u00a0\u00a0that will be presenting there awesome dishes<\/p>\n

I am\u00a0surprised\u00a0at how amazingly good the sake from the Ontario Sake Company here in Toronto’s Distillery District is consider all the worlds top sakes come from Japan so whats in sake & how is it made
