Dear My Sake Friends:

I’m helping to organize a big sake and food tasting event to benefit Japanese disaster relief with a group of leading sake importers, restaurants, food writers and other food and beverage folks called NYLovesJapan http://www.nylovesjapan.com/.

Our event, featuring over 100 sake and food from 15 amazing restaurants including Sakagura, Kyoya, Bond St., Matsuri, 15 East and Bao Noodles will be held on Wed., April 27 at La Venue in Chelsea from 7-10 pm. Tickets start at $100, with all proceeds going to the Japan Red Cross via our non-profit organization partner Project by Project http://www.projectbyproject.org/.

Tickets are available online now at http://www.nylovesjapan.com/.

Details regarding an onsite silent art auction, as well as our eBay Giving Works charity auction site will be forthcoming. Online auction items will include NYC restaurant gift certificates, spa certificates, autographed celebrity cookbooks, merchandise and more!

I hope you’ll join us in eating, drinking and raising money for this incredibly worthy cause.

Please also help us spread the word through twitter and facebook as well.
