Increase Customer Satisfaction
with Sake Exclusive to Your Store
If you want to have the perfect sake for your cuisine or to surprise your customers who are sake connoisseurs, why not create your own original sake? The "assemblage" is a way to make such a dream come true, which was previously difficult to achieve.
By applying the traditional wine assemblage (blending) technique to sake, we were able to create one-of-a-kind sake with a taste that matches your restaurant's cuisine, and to do so in small lots of as little as 240 bottles. In addition, we work with renowned, long-established sake breweries. This unique and premium sake will surely boost your restaurant's brand power.
Opening a New Act of Sake
What is assemblage?
Assemblage, which means "assembly" or "mixing" in French, is a traditional technique for blending different wines. We have incorporated this technique into sake to create a new type of sake that has never been seen before.
The assemblage sake is made up of famous sake from Kyoto's leading long-established sake breweries, such as Tokubei Masuda Shoten, known for "Tsuki no Katsura", Kitagawa Honke for "Tomio", and Matsui Shuzo for "Kamizo". Our in-house sake testers and experts determine the blend of sake while listening to the client's requests, to create an original sake with a flavor that brings out the best in the food and ingredients.
