For a short period of time this October, people in NYC will have the chance to visit a pop-up celebrating the pairing of sake and seafood. The event from the Japan Food Product Overseas Promotion Center (JFOODO) and seafood restaurant LIMANI is meant to "celebrate Japanese sake as the best alcohol pairing for seafood" by sharing a prix-fixe menu and curated premium Japanese sake selections.
On the menu at the Escape the Ordinary pop-up, guests will find appetizers like oysters and organic salmon tartare, followed by a first course of crab cakes and grilled octopus. After savoring main course dishes like lobster pasta, some of the dessert options include a walnut cake or a selection of sorbets.
