Masterclass: The New Generation of Sake

The New Generation of Sake Brewers and Their Sake – A collaboration with Ueno

9 October 2026 | 16:00–18:00 | SHIKI Sakethek Vienna

Join us on 9 October 2026 for a special Sake Masterclass at SHIKI Sakethek Vienna. Sake Samurai Yoshiko Ueno Müller will present a selection of exceptional sakes and share the personal stories of the brewers featured in the book: SAKE – Myth. Craftsmanship. Enjoyment.

As part of this exclusive tasting, our guests will enjoy five different premium sakes from the brewery. Each sake will be explained in detail – from the rice varieties used and polishing ratios to its aromas, style, and ideal food pairings.

  • SHICHIKEN – Sparkling Dry
    An elegant, bottle-fermented Sparkling Sake with fine bubbles, refreshing acidity, and a creamy texture. Delicate aromas of green melon and pear lead to a clean, dry, and subtly nutty finish.
  • TEDORIGAWA U. – Tedorigawa
    A modern Yamahai Junmai with a light, silky texture and lively acidity. Fragrant notes of pear and pink grapefruit lead to a juicy, fresh, and wonderfully balanced finish.
  • NIIDA – Shizenshu Kioke
    Naturally brewed and traditionally fermented in wooden Kioke barrels using wild yeasts from the brewery. Complex and lively, with rice umami, fresh acidity, delicate citrus and lactic notes, and a subtle hint of wood.
  • MASUIZUMI – JDG Special
    An elegant Junmai Daiginjo from Toyama, crafted in Masuizumi’s characteristically refined and precise style. Delicate fruit, subtle rice sweetness, and fine acidity come together in a balanced and sophisticated sake.
  • DARUMA MASAMUNE 2023
    A sake specifically designed for aging, gaining depth and complexity over time. In its youth, it is still delicate and fresh, but with age it develops a rounder, fuller, and more layered character.

Look forward to an enjoyable yet informative afternoon filled with Japanese sake culture in an intimate and personal atmosphere.
