New York Mutual Trading Company: Tasting Challenge

Sake 101

=Blind Tasting Challenge=

The Japanese Culinary Center would like to offer a basic sake class, "SAKE 101", on Thursday January 21st. We are going to taste 5 different types of sakes and introduce why each type gives you different tastes and flavors.

We also have a special "NAMA" sake at the event which we just received from Japan via Air. We would like you to experience how fresh Namazake is!

In this class, we would also like to do a blind tasting with the winner receiving a surprise gift. Whether you are a sake expert or just a sake lover, we welcome you and look forward to seeing you at the event.

Mutual Trading Co., Inc. was founded in 1926. New York Mutual Trading started selling products in 1973 and now utilizes its own shipping system out of a ten thousand sq. ft warehouse to distribute more than 4,000 items direct throughout the tri-state area.

New York Mutual Trading pioneered the concept of the distributor partnering with the Japanese vendor directly to make new items (such as food and sake) available in the United States. We import and distribute more than one hundred kinds of Jizake (Japanese Premium Sake).

Every fall we have our annual restaurant show for trade businesses in New York City with vendors from the US and Japan highlighting new products and conducting seminars.

New York Mutual Trading Inc. continues to make great strides for the culinary professional with the April 2009 opening of the new Japanese Culinary Center. The Center will have among other things: imported Japanese dishware, high quality cutting tools and a large variety of restaurant supplies. There will also be a test kitchen available on the premises.
