From Jesse, Sen restaurant, Sag Harbor:

Sake Royalty

My friend Jessica Joly holds the title of Miss Sake USA — a real thing, there is a pageant in the sake world. She’s also part of the team behind Sake Discoveries and helps Japanese chefs and businesses launch in NYC. If you’ve been to spots like Tsukimi or Sushi Sho, she’s likely had a hand in it. She knows everyone.
