Select Your Sake
Choose one bottle each of Junmai, Ginjo, Daiginjo, and Nigori sake. These varieties will offer a range of flavors and aromas for sampling.
2
Chill the Sake
Place the selected sake bottles in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill before serving.

Prepare Accompaniments
In a serving platter, arrange the edamame, sushi rolls, pickled ginger, and wasabi. Ensure that the wasabi is easily accessible for guests.

Pour the Sake
Once chilled, pour each type of sake into small tasting glasses, filling each glass about 1/3 full to allow for sampling.
