Testimonials



" An individual identity with thoughtfully selected food and sake "

" I've attended Kiyoe's events several times over the last two years, and I'm happy to say I'll be a customer for life!  Her menu is always unique, interesting and artistic.  No food or sake pairing is repeated, and I always walk away happy, full and having learned something new about Sake and Japanese food.  Every event has an individual identity with thoughtfully selected food and sake, and all the experiential elements surrounding the evening.  Kiyoe's events are a must if you are an artist, food/sake lover, or simply, someone who enjoys good things out there."

" She is a gifted artist and a wonderful host. "

" It is one thing to prepare great food. To match it up with great sake is another thing. But to present both with such style and grace as Kiyoe does time after time is truly amazing. Kiyoe's wonderful creations accompanied by the very best sake is complimented by her charming and engaging personality. She is a gifted artist and a wonderful host. The Art of Food and Sake is a unique experience that provides a special prospective into the world of Japanese cuisine. "

" with the ability to get along with anyone and make the entire room feel at ease....and cannot recommend her enough. "

" I love going to Kiyoe's tasting events and always learn a great deal about food and sake. I have been to several of her events and she taught me how to really enjoy sake and understand what I was doing. I look at sake differently now and crave more experiences and tastings! The food that Kiyoe creates is truly delicious and could be a meal in itself. Kiyoe is also one of the hardest working and professional people that I have ever met with the ability to get along with anyone and make the entire room feel at ease. I will look forward to her future events and cannot recommend her enough. "

" A culinary experience that everyone will love! "

" Kiyoe is an amazing sake connoisseur and a great chef. Her food and sake pairings work really well together and it shows that she has refined palette, she also takes the time to educate you on the different sake types. She creates a culinary experience that everyone will love!  Even if you have no experience with sake or Japanese food, you will have a great time, and you will find tastes and flavor profiles that you like. If you haven't been to one of her events, book one or go to one as soon as you can! "
