Japanese whisky tasting

Tsuru, a Japanese restaurant near Tate Modern, is to host a tasting of Japanese whisky.

Jen Dickson, an expert in whisky, will guide guests through a range of whiskies from world-renowned producers Nikka and Suntory.

Japanese whisky is similar to the Scottish version in style, and regularly competes with it at world whisky tastings.

The five whiskys included in the tasting at Tsuru will represent a range of blended and single malts, and Jen Dickson will explain the subtle difference between the styles and how to match them to Japanese cuisine.

Tsuru specialises in fresh authentic Japanese dishes, made using sustainably-sourced ingredients, and is located on Canvey Street in Bankside.

All the sushi is handmade and stocks and sauces are made from scratch, on-site to produce outstandingly fresh food.
