Uncover the secret art of sake blending in a hidden laboratory where creativity flows. At the gateway to Niigata—Japan’s renowned sake capital—Shirataki Sake Brewery has been crafting sake for over 170 years using soft snowmelt from one of the world’s heaviest snowfall regions. Step into a secluded, rarely seen corner of the brewery where you can explore Chōgō—the post-fermentation blending process—a hidden layer of artistry in sake creation that few ever get to see. Begin with an English-guided lecture by a brewery guide (WSET Level 3 Certified), on how sake is made and how craftsmanship shapes flavor. Taste five carefully selected sakes: the flagship Jozen Mizuno Gotoshi, known for its graceful balance and crisp purity, and four others representing key flavor profiles—dryness, sweetness, richness, and acidity. Then, craft your own blend to reflect your palate. Curated recipes by the master brewer are available if you need guidance, tailored to different moods, occasions, and tastes. Finish by choosing a kanji character to express your blend and brush it onto your label with staff support, creating a personalized bottle to take home.

Amazing experience!!! We didn't know much about sake before, but it was really cool learning about the brewing and how flavor is measured. The best part for us was the blending session. We had a lot of fun trying to recreate the welcome drink (it's much harder than it would seem). Taking the bottle home was a really nice bonus. 10/10 worth checking out.
Amazing experience !!!

I spontaneously joined this blending experience when visiting Shirataki Flow Tap Room and I am so glad I did! Kumi-san is very knowledgeable and explains the background of Sake, Shirataki brewery, the brewing process and different Sake flavors super well. In this experience you get to try 5 completely different Sake from their lineup and afterwards you blend the ones you liked to create your own unique Sake-blend. I believe this is such a special memory to take home from your trip to Japan or give as souvenir for someone who could not come along! In the end you get to take home the blend you created as well as the „leftover“ Sake. They also give you a little glass, tote bag and other presents so I really think it is worth the money. Highly recommend joining this experience for anyone interested in Sake!
Sake for the win

Such a wholesome experience with very cool presentation. Much more interesting than normal sake tasting. The Sake was superb with some very interesting modern styles. Thank you, Kumi-san, we learnt so much - such a cool experience!
Sake blending experience at Shirataki Brewery

We recently did a sake blending experience at the Shirataki brewery and as it happened we were the first to have booked through their website officially. The experience was truly magical and thoughtfully planned out with the sakes being well prepared in advance using great displays in a multi sensory setting. The whole exercise was complemented with a blending of the 5sakes which we were presented with and we had to make our own blend. It did really make us think about the whole process and put our taste buds to the test. Once we were happy with our results the finished product was bottled in a beautiful bottle and we were offered the opportunity to sign our own names onto the finished sake in Japanese, to name our own blend. A truly unique and special experience which Shirataki should be celebrated for. Congratulations to Kumi for her presentation and absolute pleasure to be featured in this her first presentation.
