Omnivore - Pop-up alert: Sumo! at Sound Table tonight
Hector Santiago and Mihoko Obunai join forces for a four-course sake dinner, tonight
Unsure about what you’re having for dinner tonight? If you’re feeling spontaneous, you can kampai with chefs Hector Santiago and Mihoko Obunai tonight (Dec. 10) for their one-off pop-up at the Sound Table. Just 40 tickets are available for this four-course sake tasting menu with pairings of Hakkaisan sakes from the snow-capped mountains of Niigata Japan’s Mount Hakkai.
Santiago sent over a tiny teaser of the evening’s menu: Luxardo maraschino brined smoked pork belly; steamed little neck clams with a broth of yuzu and Pine Street bacon. Each dish has been carefully chosen to pair with a selected sake. Oh, the suspense! Whatever will they whip up to pair with Hakkaisan’s light, crisp (and bubbly!) Sparkling Nigori?
Sumo! is Wed., Dec. 10, 5-7:30 p.m. and tickets ($45) may be purchased at www.ramenfreakatl.com. 483 Edgewood Ave. S.E. 404-835-2534. www.thesoundtable.com.
