Most tastings let you sample. Ours lets you create. Taste and compare 8 carefully selected premium sakes from breweries across Japan, then blend your own one-of-a-kind bottle to take home. It is a well-designed program that allows you to perceive the differences through direct experience, even without specialized knowledge of sake.
— a process past guests have called "true alchemy." No sake knowledge needed, and it's just as fun for non-drinkers exploring flavor and aroma. Guided by English-speaking, sake-passionate staff in a fully indoor setting, perfect for a rainy day and just minutes from Kiyomizudera and Nishiki Market. A unique program devised by Kenshi Ueyama, the official Sake Ambassador known as "Mr. Sake."
Enjoy a creative sake experience in Kyoto, Sake District !
