Join us at Japan Centre Ichiba for a talk and tasting on the characteristics and misconceptions about sake. 

Sake has grown increasingly popular in the UK and Europe over the past several years but with it a rise in misunderstandings about what sake is and how to drink it. In this Sake Talk & Tasting, the presenter will show you the basic descriptions of sake production through a comparison with wine, whisky and other alcohol to clear up any misconceptions. Additionally, the workshop lead will explain the three keywords to differentiate various sake.


What we serve you:

5 different styles of sake (Junmai Daiginjo, Ginjo, Junmai, Honjozo, Futsushu)

The contents of the seminar:

  • The difference of the production process between Sake and Wine
  • Is Sake a strong alcoholic beverage?
  • All Sake can be warmed up?
  • Sake should be matched only with Japanese food?
  • Three keywords: Junmai / Ginjo / Honjozo

Level: Beginner-Intermediate (no prior knowledge is required)

Style: Guided Sake Tasting

Good for: Sake Enthusiasts, Sake Curious


After the talk, join us for a tasting of sake from various breweries with a new-found appreciation for the art of sake brewing and enjoy 10% off selected sake!

To ensure proper timekeeping, we ask that customers arrive 10 minutes before the talk starts.
