Masterclass: Urakasumi Sake Since 1724
Exclusive Tasting with Mr. Uotani from the Historic Urakasumi Brewery
16 June 2026 | 4:00–6:00 PM | SHIKI Sakethek Vienna
Join us on 16 June 2026 for a special sake masterclass at SHIKI Sakethek Vienna and discover the fascinating world of Urakasumi — one of Japan’s most renowned and historic sake breweries.
Founded in 1724 in Shiogama, Miyagi Prefecture, the brewery has been operated by the Saura family ever since and continues to represent the highest level of craftsmanship, elegance, and deeply rooted Japanese brewing tradition. The name “Urakasumi,” meaning “Misty Bay,” refers to the picturesque coastal landscape surrounding Shiogama, whose fresh sea air and rich culinary culture strongly influence the character of the brewery’s sake. Urakasumi is especially known for its exceptionally balanced, refined, and seafood-friendly sake and is regarded today as one of the great classics of the Japanese sake world.
As part of this exclusive tasting experience, guests will enjoy six different premium sake from the brewery. Mr. Uotani will personally guide guests through the afternoon and share fascinating insights into the history, philosophy, and brewing methods of Urakasumi. Each sake will be explained in detail — from the rice varieties and polishing ratios to aroma profiles, stylistic characteristics, and ideal food pairings.
Look forward to an inspiring and enjoyable afternoon filled with Japanese sake culture in an intimate and relaxed atmosphere.
