Sake of the Month

WASAKE Launches "Sake Brewery of the Month" Program, Kicking Off with Shirataki Sake Brewery

As part of its core concept to be a “hub for sharing Japanese culture with the world,” WASAKE will collaborate with a different sake brewery each month under the “Sake Brewery of the Month” program. This initiative will feature the brewery’s sake selections, helping enhance appeal for international visitors. To celebrate WASAKE’s grand opening on November 2, we are pleased to announce our first collaboration with Shirataki Sake Brewery.

Collaboration Details

WASAKE and Shirataki Sake Brewery will collaborate through the end of December, with the following planned highlights:

  • Sake Selection: In addition to their signature Jozen Mizuno Gotoshi and Minatoya Tosuke, the lineup will include six sakes, such as limited-edition labels, Shirataki SEVEN Junmai Daiginjo 25% and Shirataki SEVEN Junmai Daiginjo Shizuku. WASAKE will be the only place in Tokyo currently offering Shirataki SEVEN.


  • Water-Based Experiences: We will use Shirataki’s sake-brewing water in our tasting menu item, “Green Tea / Coffee brewed with Sake-Brewing Water.”


  • On-Site Display: A special display featuring Shirataki Sake Brewery’s goods will be installed in the WASAKE exhibition space.


  • Grand Opening Ceremony: At the November 2 opening event at noon, WASAKE will join Shirataki Sake Brewery representatives for a kagami-biraki (sake barrel-opening ceremony) and offer free tastings of Jozen Mizuno Gotoshi.
