Jessica is America’s first “Miss Sake USA 2016” and also an International Kikisake-Shi (Sake Sommelier) WSET Level 3.
She regularly hosts her own popular sake event in NY, a quirky experience she created to make sake more accessible for the US audience. She features select sakes paired with seasonal dishes, and explains these bottles through a corresponding soul music track for a true “east meets west” evening.
