Collection: Japanese Sake

Craft sake from small Japanese breweries: junmai, ginjo and daiginjo, cloudy nigori, fresh nama, sparkling sake and rustic doburoku. Serve chilled with food or gently warmed on a cold evening.

Sake is brewed from polished rice, water, yeast and koji, and the degree of polishing defines its style. Junmai uses only rice and water; ginjo and daiginjo are polished further for fragrant, fruity elegance; nigori is unfiltered and cloudy; nama is unpasteurised and fresh; and doburoku is a rustic, unpressed style.

We specialise in sake from small breweries, including Zao, Tenjō Mugen, Kenkonichi, Hirotogawa, Miyakanbai, Koueigiku, Emishiki and Harukasumi. Serve ginjo and nama sake chilled in a wine glass, enjoy fuller junmai styles at room temperature or gently warmed, and keep opened bottles in the fridge. Come by our Utrecht shop or join a sake tasting for a personal recommendation.
