Enjoy sake tourism at Japan House London through a display of seasonal varieties of sake, virtual brewery visits and special sake tastings.
Sake tourism is a new way to experience Japan through visits to sake breweries and interacting directly with brewers while tasting their craft sake. While exploring the areas where sake gets processed and brewed it is also possible to try local cuisine and enjoy the richness of regional cultures along the way.
