The popularity of sparkling sake is skyrocketing in Japan and overseas. Come join us at West London Wine School to explore this delicious new sake style that is creating enthusiastic new sake fans, and discover your new favourite beverage to celebrate with over the holidays!

Our sake tutor Sarah is hand-selecting the top premium sparkling sakes available in the UK to taste in one decadent evening.Capturing the bubbles in sparkling sake is technically challenging, and the breweries making sparkling sake each forge their own paths to create a unique product that reflects their brewing philosophy. We will share the fascinating stories of each brewery and sake with you at this tasting event.

You will taste seven premium sparkling sake from a variety of styles, accompanied by festive fine cheeses and Japanese-influenced nibbles.There will be a tutored tasting on the world of sparking sake including history and production methods, with a full Powerpoint presentation and tasting sheets.

The UK is also leading the way in sparkling sake production outside of Japan, with Cambridgeshire’s Sparkling Sake Brewery - their award-winning cuvee “Awa” will be one of the sparkling sake tasted on the night.
