Curated by Sake educator and Hedonism Wines consultant Honami Matsumoto from House of Sake, we have been hosting this event annually since 2014. The 1st of October has been known as Nihonshu no Hi (Japanese Sake Day) in Japan, and as International Sake Day abroad.

Tickets are £75, including a £15 voucher redeemable against any purchase of Sake on the day of the tasting.
