A Journey into the World of Sake with Yuri Iwata
SAVE THE DATE: Every Friday and Saturday

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 to 6 p.m., she welcomes you at the SHIKI Boutique | Sakethek. Take this opportunity to ask your questions directly to a true expert – whether you’re already a sake connoisseur or just starting your journey of discovery.

With over 65 different sake specialties in our refrigerated showcases, even professionals can sometimes find it challenging to choose the perfect bottle. No problem: Yuri Iwata is here to help with advice and recommendations tailored to your taste, the occasion, or your menu. Whether fruity and light, full-bodied and spicy, or delicate and complex – together, we’ll find your personal favorite for every occasion.

For those who want to dive deeper into the diversity of the sake world, 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 the robust Junmai to the elegant Ginjo and the traditional Kimoto method.

The Terroir of Sake (€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” isn’t exclusive to the world of wine – it exists in sake too. When a brewery creates several sakes using the same water, the same brewing method, and the same rice variety, surprisingly different flavor profiles can emerge – simply because the rice was grown in different soil types. Don’t believe it? Come by and see for yourself: sample our tasting set featuring three sake varieties from the Matsu no Tsukasa brewery and be amazed by the subtle differences that soil and microclimate bring to each bottle.

Whether as a gift, an exciting pairing for sushi and Japanese delicacies, or simply to delight your palate – this weekend promises a feast for all the senses. Drop by, be inspired by Yuri Iwata, and discover your new favorite bottle at the SHIKI Boutique | Sakethek.
We look forward to seeing you!
