Join us for this special fundraiser, an evening pairing Filipino-inspired chocolates and wines at Kazuyo Sushi, a Filipino-owned Japanese restaurant, with all proceeds supporting FilAm ARTS. Tonet Tibay of Marti Chocolatt is a Filipina chocolatier who incorporates Filipino flavors in her chocolates, which for this tasting will include the following:
Ube ~ purple yam in a white chocolate ganache
Durian ~ durian in 33% milk chocolate
Senorita ~ sweet ripe bananas with dark Jamaican rum in a milk chocolate ganache
Jasmine Citron ~ queen of jasmine pearl tea with grapefruit zest
Barako ~ Liberica coffee beans in a milk chocolate ganache
Pina - pineapple caramel with Ilocano sea salt
Santos Uy, owner of Mignon Wine and Cheese Bar, is a Filipino sommelier very much in touch with our home food and as a result, knows just the right wines to pair with Tonet's delicious offerings.
General admission to this special culinary event will include the chocolate and wine pairing (six chocolates and four wines) at $35.
VIP admission includes the chocolate and wine pairing plus a box of chocolates and wine to take home for $75.
Event capacity is limited and PREFERENCE will be given to those attendees who pre-pay for the event.
If you'd like to dine before the event at Kazuyo Sushi, Kazuyo is offering a special 15% discount for all attendees who mention FilAm ARTS when they make their dinner reservations or when they walk into the restaurant.*
*NOTE: Kazuyo has some Japanese dishes that Filipino Chef-Owner, Joe Cubangbang added Filipino touches to, so the dishes to look for include:
Miso Soup ~ Inspiration from Sinigang
Banzai Roll ~ Inspiration from Embutido
Seared Garlic Albacore Sashimi ~ Inspiration from Adobo
Spicy Tuna Biscuit ~ Savory Inspiration from Bibingka Malagit
Ramen ~ Inspiration from Mami Soup
This will definitely be a chocolate and wine tasting you've never experienced before, so we hope you'll join us for this tasty adventure and support FilAm ARTS at the same time.
Additional donations are appreciated, and benefit The Association for the Advancement of Filipino American Arts and Culture, also known as FilAm ARTS, a multi-disciplinary community arts organization whose mission is to advance the understanding of the arts and diverse cultural heritage of Filipinos in the United States.
