Sake Sessions - Sake Through The Ages

SYDNEY & MELBOURNE

Saturday 29th August 2026

Tasting Event

In this fascinating sake session we will explore the last 700 years of sake brewing in a succession of 5 bottles.

We begin with a super modern style of Muroka Nama Genshu using a combo of a newly developed yeast and rice variety. This is cutting edge sake designed to invigorate a new generation of sake drinkers.

The we skip back to the early 1900’s with a pair of Kimoto and Yamahai - old school brewing. Many Kimoto and Yamahai styles can be kept in bottle for a few years, a subject we will discuss on the day.

We go back further with true Bodaimoto starter made with water drawn from the Shoryaku-ji temple in Nara.

Final stop will be a tasting of the exquisite Mizuhana 1355. A historically correct interpretation of Summer brewing in 1355 following a monk's recipe, using a single step fermentation process. This is a super rare opportunity and definately one not to miss.

As always, the sake will be delicious and the banter will be light hearted and fun.

Session will last about 40 minutes so there will be plenty of time to chat and of course Sakeshop will be open so you can purchase your new favourites.

It is highly recommended you don't drive.
