Tasting at Cape Cod

Great venue. Great Distributor. Great Turn Out.
Can't really ask for anything more.

Our booth was busy through out the 4 hour tasting. A lot of interest and new leads.

Thanks to Kikusui Brewery for accompanying me on this trip.
We had a blast!

I'm down in Atlanta this week visiting with my distributor, some of the best Sushi and Japanese restaurants this city has to offer. We just wrapped up an excellent Sake Pairing event celebrating Sushi Hayakawa's 3rd anniversary.

Congrats!
