Yuri Iwata, founder of SAKE no BA and one of Europe’s leading experts on Japanese sake, invites you to an exclusive insight into the fascinating world of sake. Every Friday and Saturday from 3 PM to 6 PM, she welcomes you at the SHIKI Boutique | Sakethek. Take this opportunity to ask your questions directly to an expert—whether you are already a sake connoisseur or just beginning your journey of discovery.
With more than 65 different sake specialties in our chilled displays, even professionals can find it challenging to choose the perfect bottle. Not to worry: Yuri Iwata is here to guide you personally and recommend exactly the types that match your taste, your occasion, or your menu. Fruity and light, full-bodied and spicy, or delicate and complex—together, we will find your personal favorite for any moment.
For those who wish to delve deeper into the diversity of the sake world, we offer two carefully curated tasting sets:
Journey Through the World of Sake (€25)
– TSURU-UME Natsu-Mikan (Summer Mandarin Sake)
– KANKOUBAI Junmai Ginjo “Haru” Rabbit Label
– HIWATA Kimoto Junmai Daiginjo
Discover three completely different styles: from a refreshing mandarin-infused sake 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 wine—it exists in sake as well. When a brewery uses the same water, the same brewing method, and the same rice variety to craft several sakes, surprisingly different expressions can emerge—simply because the rice was grown in different soil types. Hard to believe? Come taste for yourself: sample our set of three sakes from the Matsu no Tsukasa brewery and marvel at how soil and microclimate shape each bottle.
Whether as a gift, a perfect companion to sushi and Japanese delicacies, or simply to indulge your palate—this weekend promises a celebration for all the senses. Visit us, be inspired by Yuri Iwata, and find your new favorite bottle at the SHIKI Boutique | Sakethek.
We look forward to seeing you!
