A Dash Of: Umami Hour — Salt, Tomatoes & the Fifth Flavor
Saturday, September 19 · 2:00–3:30 PM · Blu Dot Showroom, San Francisco · $50
Umami is the flavor you feel. And nothing delivers it quite like a peak-season tomato finished with the right salt.
At this tasting, we're going deep on umami — what it is, where it lives, and how salt unlocks it. We'll taste our way through a curated lineup of artisan salts alongside late-summer tomatoes, exploring how mineral content, texture, and terroir can change what lands on your palate.
What to expect:
Guided tasting of 6–8 artisan salts paired with seasonal tomatoes and umami surprises. Spirited conversation about why tomatoes deserve better than table salt.
Space is limited to keep things intimate. Tickets are $50.
Hosted by Dava Guthmiller, founder of A Dash Of — because someone has to take salt this seriously, and it might as well be her. https://adashof.co/
