Overview

Start with a short guide in English to sake culture and history, from Junmai and Daiginjo to how to drink sake the polite way. Then use our flavor map to choose three sakes from a lineup of nine, from Dassai 45 to a cloudy, lightly sparkling doburoku, and pick three of our six chinmi, the delicacies Japanese people have enjoyed with sake for centuries, including karasumi, one of Japan's three great delicacies.

Each sake is served in small tasting portions, so even light drinkers can join comfortably. Solo travelers are welcome, as the experience runs even for one person. Our staff will take photos for you to keep and share.

What's included

  • 3 Japanese delicacies (chinmi) of your choice from six
  • All Fees and Taxes
  • 3 sakes of your choice from a lineup of nine
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off are not provided. Please come directly to the meeting point.
  • Additional drinks (available to order at the bar)

What to expect

Choose three sakes from a lineup of nine, from famous labels like Dassai 45 and Kubota Senju to the ultra-dry Bakuren and a cloudy, lightly sparkling doburoku, and pair them with three chinmi chosen from six: the bold, salty delicacies Japanese people have enjoyed with sake for centuries, including karasumi (salted mullet roe), one of Japan's three great delicacies since the Edo period.

Your host starts with a short sake guide in English: what Junmai, Ginjo and Daiginjo mean, why the rice polishing ratio matters, and how to drink sake the polite way. Then you use our flavor map, from light to rich and from subtle to aromatic, to pick the three sakes that suit you.

Held at Karaoke Bar GIFT, a small bar in the heart of Kabukicho, a one-minute walk from the Godzilla Head. Up to 10 travelers; solo travelers are welcome, as the experience runs even for one person.
