The final day of Tokyo Sake Collection 2024 will get underway in just a few hours time. Come and join in the fun from 1pm.

Best value ticket: 3,900 yen with 20 tasting coupons
or 2,000 yen for 10 tasting coupons
1,000 for an additional 5 tasting coupons

5,000 yen for guided tasting with a sake expert in English
(includes 20 tasting coupons and a souvenir sake cup)

Guests who joined the guided tasting commented that they never expected to learn so much and didn't realize how interesting sake is. The knowledge they gained helped them to get more out of the event. It was also great actually hearing from the breweries directly about their sake.

The first two days featured a stellar lineup of sake breweries from across Japan. The final day's lineup is equally as stellar.

Staff have been working really hard to promote the event to passers-by.

13/10/2024

Yesterday at Tokyo Sake Collection 2024 was a roaring success. We managed to entice loads of foreign visitors off the street to come and discover sake and everyone went away thoroughly satisfied and with a newfound or deeper love for the beverage. Our English sake expert, Chris ran some guided tastings which offered an opportunity to actually hear directly from the various breweries about their sake (with interpretation of course). Umami-full, bold, robust sake was the surprise hit among guests. The event continues today and tomorrow, so if you are in the area, please stop by and say hello, and maybe even join the event. Guided tastings are now only 5,000 per person.

P.S. there is lots of fall sake to taste
