My family from the US and I learned a lot about sake, and we got to try various delicious sake at the store. Eriko was a fantastic host. She explained the process of making sake and answered our questions with patience. I could feel her passion for sake from the way she talks about her favorite breweries in the country. The bar was a bit small but there was space for a big group of 5 (and we are not Japanese-sized!) We recommend this experience for those who are new to sake and are looking for an English-speaking guide.

This is a must do for anybody who would like to have an introduction to Japanese whiskey. Shugo, my guide for the whiskey journey, met me at the appointed place and brought me to the whiskey tasting room. He then told me about the origins of Japanese whiskey and how it has developed since. Then we started the tasting with Shugo seeking to get a feel for my particular whiskey taste so that he could select the appropriate Japanese whiskies to try. For me it was a great experience to be able to taste a wide range of Japanese whiskies from throughout Japan to understand the variety of aroma, simplicity or complexity of taste, and lightness or sharpness on the throat. Definitely so very interesting and unique whiskies. We had a good discussion and Shugo has perfect English which made for a very interesting sharing of whiskey experiences.

We booked the Wasake Sake Experience, Asakusa, through byFood, but they also do walk-ins. We were given 10 coins on arrival, and some tasting notes so we could choose from the 50+ sake’s available. Most are 1 coin per shot but there are some premium ones at 2 or 3 coins. We were given plenty of water and some snacks and were guided through the process by Bo, who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, highly recommended!

Sake Tastings in Japan

Japan’s national beverage, Japanese sake is a must-try beverage when you’re visiting Japan. Also known as nihonshu, sake is a fermented rice wine that has been enjoyed for centuries. During a sake tasting in Japan, you can learn all about the production process of delicious sake, from polishing the rice to steaming, making koji and fermenting, and sake pressing and filtering. Made with just rice, water, and koji, Japanese sake seems like a simple beverage, but there are subtle differences in grades of sake and a wide variety of types that vary in complexity and flavor. With insights from a sake expert, you will explore the different types of sake, trying a variety of samples during sake tastings in Japan. Learn all about namazake, the “raw” unpasteurized sake, as well as grades of sake such as ginjo-shu and daiginjo-shu. There are sake tastings in Tokyo, Kyoto, Miyagi and more! Japanese sake tastings will open your mind and perk up your tastebuds!
