Sake tourism is a new way to experience Japan through visits to sake breweries and interacting directly with brewers while tasting their craft sake. While exploring the areas where sake gets processed and brewed it is also possible to try local cuisine and enjoy the richness of regional cultures along the way.
In this series of events at Japan House London held in collaboration with Japan’s National Tax Agency (NTA), guests can experience sake tourism through a display of different seasonal varieties of sake, virtual brewery visits and special sake tastings.
Display and Tasting Sessions
The display introduces sake tourism in Yamagata, Saga and Gunma Prefectures, exploring the distinctive features of each region and offering samples of their signature sake by a variety of featured local craft breweries.
