Yuri Iwata, founder of SAKE no BA and one of Europe’s leading experts on Japanese sake, invites you to an exclusive introduction into the fascinating world of sake. Every Friday and Saturday from 3 PM to 6 PM, she welcomes you to the SHIKI Boutique | Sakethek. Take this opportunity to ask your questions directly to an expert—whether you are already a connoisseur or just beginning your journey of discovery.

With more than 65 different premium sake selections in our chilled showcases, even professionals can sometimes find it challenging to choose the perfect bottle. No worries: Yuri Iwata is here to assist you with thoughtful recommendations—perfectly matched to your taste, the occasion, or your menu. Whether fruity and light, full-bodied and spicy, or delicate and complex—together, we will find your personal favorite for any moment.

For those wishing to dive even deeper into the diversity of the sake universe, we offer two carefully curated tasting sets:


Journey Through the World of Sake – €25

  • KID Junmai “Muryozan”

  • KANKOUBAI Junmai Ginjo “Haru” Rabbit Label

  • HIWATA Kimoto Junmai Daiginjo

Experience three distinct styles—from a robust Junmai to an elegant Ginjo and finally the traditional Kimoto method.


The Terroir of Sake Rice – €30

  • MATSU NO TSUKASA Ryuou Yamada-Nishiki “Yamanaka”

  • MATSU NO TSUKASA Ryuou Yamada-Nishiki “Kayochou”

  • MATSU NO TSUKASA Ryuou Yamada-Nishiki “Yuge”

Attention wine lovers: “terroir” is not exclusive to the world of wine—it exists in sake, too. When a brewery uses the same water, brewing method, and rice variety to create multiple sake, astonishingly different characters can emerge—simply because the rice was grown in different soil types. Hard to believe? Come and taste for yourself: sample our set of three sake from the Matsu no Tsukasa brewery and discover how soil and microclimate weave their magic into every bottle.
Whether as a special gift, a refined companion to sushi and Japanese delicacies, or simply a treat for the palate—this weekend will be a feast for all the senses. Come by, let Yuri Iwata inspire you, and find your new favorite bottle at the SHIKI Boutique | Sakethek.

We look forward to welcoming you!
