Do you know what day is the 1st of October? It is World Sake Day to celebrate the beginning of an official new sake brewing season. It is just like a new year’s day for sake industry.
Since 2016, House of Sake has been a curator of World Sake Day Instore Tasting at Hedonism Wines, where House of Sake consult sake selection and events. The tasting took place again this year from 1pm to 5pm.
This year, it has been sold out again for 60 guests. Ticket was £35 of which £10 was redeemable against any sake purchases on the day to give a little encouragement toward everyone’s sake enjoyments beyond the 1st of October.
