MATCHA: KAMPAI! Sake + TeaYou had me at "sake," but tea ain't bad either. Should be a really nice way to spend a Thursday evening. Music, drinks, art, mingling. Grab some friends and have a good time. For more information, visit the Asian Art Museum website here.

Quench your summer thirst with our sake and tea extravaganza!
Savor a sake tasting and multi-media presentation by Kirsten Shilakes, art history lecturer an expert in the visual history of the culinary arts; sip, learn, and chat with Miwa Wang, sake sommelier and manager of True Sake, about the bouquets of sake; discover a Japanese tea ceremony showcasing matcha, a powdered green tea and namesake of our program, and whisk your own; make a tea bowl; stroll the galleries; relax with friends, a sake-tini, and music spun by Mezuki.
See LORDS OF THE SAMURAI in its opening week. This special exhibition of gorgeous artworks-from fierce armor to delicate tea wares-reveals a softer, unknown side to these legendary warriors.
