Discover the Elegance of Japanese Sake

Welcome to the enchanting world of Japanese sake, a beverage steeped in tradition and history. Whether you're a sake aficionado or a curious newcomer, our sake tastings offer an incredible journey through Japan’s rich brewing culture. With each sip, you'll explore the intricate flavors and aromas that make Japanese sake unique. Guided tastings allow you to discern the subtle differences between varieties and enhance your appreciation for this ancient craft, all while enjoying the atmosphere reminiscent of traditional izakayas or modern sake bars.

Explore a Variety of Sake Genres

Our sake tastings provide an exceptional opportunity to delve into various styles of sake, such as Junmai, Honjozo, Ginjo, and Daiginjo. Each category represents a different approach to brewing techniques, rice polishing ratios, and ingredients. Junmai, known for its full-bodied taste, is crafted without any added alcohol, emphasizing the natural flavor of the rice. Honjozo offers a lighter and more fragrant option by incorporating a small amount of distilled alcohol. Meanwhile, Ginjo and Daiginjo are celebrated for their complex profiles and fruity notes, achieved through meticulous rice milling and fermentation processes. During your tasting experience, you’ll have the chance to compare these types and find your personal favorite.

Enhance Your Experience with Expert Guidance

What sets our sake tastings apart is the expertise of our guides, who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and love for sake. They will introduce you to the basics of sake production, from the selection of rice and water sources to the fermentation process. Throughout the session, you'll learn how to appreciate the nuanced flavors and identify taste profiles, much like a sommelier does with wine. Our guides will also share cultural insights and stories, enriching your tasting experience and providing a deeper understanding of sake’s role in Japanese culture. Enjoy this immersive exploration and raise your glass to one of Japan's most revered beverages.
