Sake Exchange Tokyo (SET) 23 Potluck Party in東京

店舗のスタッフは日本語喋れますが、このイベントは基本的に英語オンリーです。

KURAND SET (Sake Exchange Tokyo ) is an international exchange party with sake. The events are aimed at bringing people from all over the world together through this magical artisan beverage.

This is the 23rd edition of the super popular Tokyo sake exchange party. Last month, everyone brought so many amazing different home-cooked foods and we quite literally had a feast fit for a king. If you are unfamiliar with the way Potluck parties work, basically, everyone must bring at least one dish to share with the other participants. This is a condition of participation. This can be a home-cooked or bought entry, it is entirely up to you. 

October's event will of course include the usual sake tasting challenge with an opportunity to bag some free bottles of sake, sake cups, etc.

All participants are sure to have a blast with a glass or two of newly brewed sake in hand while making a whole host of new Facebook contacts / friends.
