Fifteen euros and you'll get an Asian blush.
We have always heard that Asian food is the best. Even in Paris, a place famous for its exquisite cuisine, Chinese and Japanese restaurants are always crowded. Well, what about the Asian spirits? The Chinese Baijiu, Japanese Sakè, Korea's soju, and India's Feni made their names in the international market. Among these, Sakè is the most commonly acceptable one, with a hint of fruity taste and only 15% alcohol content. 
 
Here's a great opportunity to try some of the greatest Sakè around the world:
 
Sakè du Salon is the biggest wine tasting event of its kind in Europe. Hosted by Xavier Thuizat, the Chef-Sommelier of l’hôtel The Peninsula Paris and Sylvain Huet, this event brings in many sakè producers around the world. Those manufacturers always take their most precious and tasty sakè samples to the fair in order to exchange ideas and present their creations. This year, more French dimensions will be blended into this event by inviting all the importers and distributors in the French market. Check out its official website to find more about who's coming.

On Saturday 31st Oct, the tasting event will be open to everyone with a ticket from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. You will be offered a wide range of options of Japanese spirit with no additional fees!
