CIA Partnership with Asahi Shuzo Includes Sake Education, Brewery
The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) welcomed Japanese sake producer Asahi Shuzo to the Hudson Valley. Asahi Shuzo—maker of Dassai super premium sake—will build its first U.S. brewery in Hyde Park, NY, becoming the first sake producer from Japan to establish a facility on the East Coast. The company selected the location because of its proximity to the CIA.
