Join us for a sake supper club exploring the sake, liqueurs and food of Japan’s Toyama prefecture: a place known for its UNESCO-listed villages, magnificent mountain ranges and gorges, and a diverse community of makers.

The dinner will take guests on a journey through the history of sake making. You’ll savour sake from Sanshoraku, a brewery that has been making sake in the age-old Yamahai style since 1880, in the secluded snowy mountains surrounding the World Heritage listed village of Gokayama.  At the other end of the spectrum, you’ll also be treated to IWA 5 by SHIRAIWA, a progressive new brewery incorporating the know-how of champagne manufacturing in France into sake brewing in Japan. Yet to be available in the UK, you’ll be among the first to try IWA 5 Assemblage 4, created by former Dom Pérignon Cellar Master, Richard Geoffroy. 

From the esteemed Fumigiku brewery there will be International Wine Challenge (IWC) 2021 Ginjo Gold Medal winner, the handcrafted Haneya Ginjo. To end on a sweet note, dessert will be served with an award-winning aged, kijoshu by Masuda brewery, a decadent style of sake not often seen in the UK.

Start with a welcome Umesky cocktail, before moving on to tasting four incredibly distinct sake alongside a food pairing crafted by Sachi’s head chef, Collin Hudston.
A closer look at what you’ll be drinking:

• Haneya Ginjo – The IWC 2021 Ginjo category winner
• IWA 5 Assemblage 4 – An ethereal sake by Dom Pérignon's fifth Chef de Cave
• Sanshoraku Yamahai Junmai Daiginjo – A bold, savoury and rich sake created through one of the slowest and most traditional methods of sake brewing
• Masuizumi oak barrel-aged Kijoshu – A style of sake not typically seen in the UK, this is similar to a dessert wine with hints of honey, caramel, roasted cashew nuts to name a few.

To compliment the sake, Sachi’s head chef, Collin Hudston, has crafted this food pairing menu:

• Trio of kombu-jime sashimi, tomato tosa-zu
• Langoustine, yuzu kosho, caviar
• Braised wagyu, daikon greens
• Dessert – to be revealed soon!
