This new Soho-based sake-pairing concept is offering sake with a twist by setting up shop in the basement of leading Italian Soho restaurant Vasco & Piero’s Pavilion.
Based on the idea of an enoteca – a place to eat and try different wines – Sake and Beyond is aiming to reject the “British” notion that sake must be drunk alongside Japanese cuisine.
The approach has more of a tapas feel, with all dishes paired with Italian small plates, made up of just three or four fresh ingredients, alongside classic sakes, mocktails and mini Martinis.
Its grand opening will coincide with World Sake Day on October 1, with other partnerships set to follow.
