Learn all there is to know about sake and tea at the Asian Art Museum tomorrow Thursday night, which kicks of their bi-monthly Matcha series. Kirsten Shilakes, art history lecturer, will lead a tasting and multi-media presentation on the history of the culinary arts, and Miwa Wang, sake sommelier and manager of True Sake, will discuss the nuanced tastes and bouquets of sake. There will also be a Japanese tea ceremony showcasing matcha, a powdered green tea, in which attendees will whisk their own matcha and learn about warrior culture.

Attendees are also invited to stroll the galleries, including Lords of the Samurai, a new special exhibition ranging from fierce armor to delicate tea wares, revealing a softer, unknown side to these legendary warriors. Music will be provided by Mezuki.

The sixth person to email [email protected] will win a pair of tickets to tomorrow Thursday night's event. Send us your full name, and include Matcha in the subject line.

CONTEST CLOSED. Congratulations, V.Q.!
