Sakura Sake Shop turns 13 today.

We started the company on April 5, 2013, as two university classmates, from zero.
In the early days, we had confidence but little experience.

It was not easy. We couldn’t even pay ourselves at first.
Whenever things seemed to improve, new challenges came up.
It has never been easy—and it still isn’t.

But we’ve kept going.

We believe that what we do can contribute, even in a small way, to the future of sake and society.
And now, we have more team members who share this vision.

Our goal is to become a 100-year company.

Our mission:
“To protect the agriculture and nature that support sake,
and contribute to a society where people can live well 100 years from now.”

As part of this, we’ve developed a new sake for the future, looking 100 years ahead.

[Dubai]
Such a fruitful trip that opened my eyes to new possibilities for sake!
We held masterclasses at five leading restaurants in Dubai.
Huge thanks to Ryuji-san, who has spent over ten years building the sake market in Dubai.
Because of the hard work of pioneers like him, we can do what we do today.
W’ll keep giving our all to create an even more valuable sake experiences in Dubai!

[Mexico]
We had the opportunity to observe a B2B sake masterclass in Mexico City organized by Mayuko Sasayama-san, a leading expert in sake education in Spanish.
Local importers and restaurant professionals participated, engaging in passionate discussions in Spanish over an impressive number of tasting glasses.
Interestingly, all the restaurant participants were from non-Japanese restaurants — a sign of the growing potential of the market!

We also had a productive conversation with those importers I was introduced to, discussing future business opportunities!
It was a very fruitful trip, giving me a real feel for Mexico City’s vibrant food and beverage scene!

Here in São Paulo, We can’t get over how amazing it is to enjoy such delicious Japanese sake and food on the other side of the world.
The sake is in such perfect condition thanks to careful refrigerated handling—true love for sake!
We could really feel the passion of the importer who cares so much about sake here in Brazil.

Visited Niizawa Sake Brewery in Miyagi with our partner from Dubai.
We learned so much and were truly inspired by Niizawa-san, who continues to evolve at an incredible pace.
We’re moving full speed ahead toward success in Dubai!

Tasting sake from the morning!
The Gonge series is made with rice grown without pesticides or fertilizers, using even the rice bran. Brewed in wooden vats with no added yeast or lactic acid, and bottled unfiltered, unpasteurized, and undiluted.
You can almost smell the soil of the rice fields.

[Toronto, Canada]
Hi, this is Takeshi, writing from Toronto.
I joined the largest B2B sake exhibition in Canada, where our importer partner, Nippon Sake Imports, had a booth!..Though due to jet lag, I was completely useless—haha.

The next day was for local market research.
We visited an LCBO store (Ontario’s government-run liquor stores — not refrigerated, so we don’t supply to them!), toured the warehouse of Nippon Sake Imports, and checked the condition of sake served at local restaurants.

Despite being a whirlwind trip, I gained a lot from understanding the market situation in Toronto to getting a clearer picture of the importer landscape here.

Now heading back home, still jet-lagged.✈️

Sake Competition 2025: The World’s Best Sake Is Chosen Here

"KANKOUBAIi Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki 50%" has been crowned the world's No.1 Junmai Ginjo! 🌍✨

For sake breweries, winning 1st place in this competition is truly the highest honor in the world of sake.

Just how prestigious is this award? ↓

The Sake Competition has the largest number of sake entries in the world. The judging is done in two stages—preliminary and final—and every sake is ranked from top to bottom (although only the top 10 are publicly announced). All judges are professional sake tasters carefully selected from across Japan, and poor judging means you won’t be asked back. This competition is regarded as the ultimate benchmark for sake quality.

For those of us in the sake industry, it’s an incredibly special event—dare I say, the most respected and competitive sake contest in Japan or abroad. Even getting into the top 10 is a major achievement. (Fun fact: it’s the only competition that the legendary Juyondai brewery enters!)

When the brewery owner of Kankoubai heard they had won 1st place, the first person he called was his brewing mentor. And what did the mentor say?
"Call and thank everyone who has ever supported you."

That’s the kind of award this is.

Later, we also got a call from him, and honestly, it felt like our own victory.
Huge congratulations to Kankoubai Shuzo‼️

[London]
The purpose of this trip to London was to exhibit at the London Wine Fair and to host a sake event at Kioku Sake Bar in the Raffles Hotel.
Of course, the bigger goal behind both was expanding our distribution channels!

We only brought sake that hasn't been distributed in the UK yet—and all of them received great feedback!
At the London Wine Fair, we even served quickly warmed sake using a borrowed tokkuri and a hotel kettle!
One buyer who visited our booth said, “That was the most moving sake experience I’ve ever had!”

The event at Kioku Sake Bar was also a full house, attended by passionate sake fans. With the help of organaizer Kikuya-san, we were able to share not just the flavors but also the stories behind the sake, which everyone seemed to enjoy.

It was our first time back in London in a while, and we feel grateful for all the new connections.
We even tried some old-school walk-in sales, going into shops without appointments to introduce our sake—just like when we first started.

Now in our 13th year, we really felt that we’re still pushing forward and embracing new challenges.

Heading back to Japan!
