Evening with a sake expert

Enlist the knowledge of an expert for a private introduction to the culture of Japan�s national drink: sake. Sake is easily as complex and nuanced as wine, and you�ll learn how to pair the different types with different foods � as well as how to recognise a superior brand. We suggest including this experience at the beginning of your honeymoon, as the insights you glean will really enhance and enrich your appreciation of the food and drink throughout your trip.

Thanks to continuous technical improvements over the centuries and relentless efforts over the last 20 years by brewery owners and their skilful master brewers, Japanese sake or nihonshu is undergoing a remarkable renaissance. The variety, quality and value is better than ever.

At a restaurant specialising in sake, you will join and dine with a French sake professional for a meal, a tasting experience and a two to three hour exchange about nihonshu, its history, tradition, production process and future. Learn about sake's universe, re-visit through sake certain key periods of Japan's modern history, and leave with useful tips to buy or order sake from a restaurant in Japan - or when you get back home.
