A Master’s Perspective on Japan’s Liquid Gold
Join me for an exclusive journey into the heart of Nada Gogo, Japan’s premier sake region. I’m Keitaro, a Sushi Master with 40 years of culinary experience and a certified wine sommelier. I don’t just show you the brewery; I translate the soul of sake through the eyes of a chef.
The Experience: Hakushika Brewery Museum
We begin at the historic Hakushika Museum—the only brewery in the region so prestigious it requires admission (included in your tour). Together, we’ll explore centuries-old brewing tools and secrets.
Expert Tasting & Pairing
The highlight is a curated tasting session. I’ll guide you through the flavour profiles of premium Hakushika sake, sharing professional tips on how to pair them with sushi, Wagyu, and seasonal dishes.
