Sake being poured into a glass \u003cbr/\u003eWine drinkers in the United States have discovered a secret that the Japanese have known for years - Sake. \u003cbr/\u003eSake is a complex, tasty, aromatic drink and now in Los Angeles 'SAKE 101' classes are picking up from where the wine tasting left off. \u003cbr/\u003eLA's love affair with Asian cuisine is consistent with the city's emergence as a bona fide Pacific Rim capital. \u003cbr/\u003eNow Angelinos have a new drink favourite - sake. \u003cbr/\u003eAlong with the popular wine tasting and recent tequila tasting boom - sake, often called the 'Drink of God' is catching on in California. \u003cbr/\u003eSake is brewed, not distilled, from rice, water, Koji (fungus which sparks fermentation) and yeast and it's enjoyed like a fine white wine, cold or hot. \u003cbr/\u003eAccording to the United States Department of Agriculture figures, Sake importation has been up 30 per cent each year since 2003. \u003cbr/\u003e'Sake 101' is the latest creation of Ian Blackburn, founder of LearnAboutWine.com. \u003cbr/\u003eThis class on the legendary Sunset Strip, in one of the city's trendiest restaurants, Katana Robata, which offers one of the city's most impressive sake lists with 40 plus labels. \u003cbr/\u003eKatana' s master sake sommelier Eiji Mori says the sake has become popular as a result of the trend in Japanese food. \u003cbr/\u003eStudents learn sake history, production, tasting techniques and how the trend in California is now moving toward chilled sake. \u003cbr/\u003eBlackburn, hosts the classes and says sake is catching on. \u003cbr/\u003eMori says the Hollywood crowd loves the Japanese drink too, thanks to the lack of hangovers. \u003cbr/\u003eSake producers in Japan are thrilled with the boost in sake sales in the US as sake in Japan is now being pushed aside by the younger generation as they consider it a drink of elders. \u003cbr/\u003eInstead, they're turning to the much cheaper distilled SHOCHU, popular in Japan and Korea.\u003cbr/\u003eKeyword-wacky\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
