Feeling flighty? Try the Flight and a Bite Tuesday tastings at Izakaya Meiji. Bartender and Flight Captain Elliot Martinez hosted an Islay single malt scotch whisky flight earlier this week. Nice pairing with a piece of singed house-smoked salmon hakozushi (that Osaka-style boxed sushi I like so much) and salmon roe, too. This was a challenge, given the band-aid/cherry/tobacco chaw/burned newspapers/smouldering haystack/seawater/earth flavors we love in Islays. The event ran $20 for a flight of three whiskies and the salmon.
Inquire about the next Tuesday flight at either Izakaya Meiji or Booze Week International, Elliot’s zine, on Facebook. I understand he will be continuing with the whisky theme.
