Come taste your way through Japan from the bottom of Kyushu island (Kagoshima) to the top of Honshu (Akita). There will be sake (nihonshu), umeshu (plum wine), yuzushu, momoshu etc, shochu, Japanese whisky and others.

Chef Tomohiro has created a worthy feast so come at 12 noon and dine in the restaurant and later go out and taste the food on a full stomach. There will be robata (grilled on charcoal) wagyu, and others.

For the first time this year there is a Deluxe Option available. $95/person - For the Sake enthusiast or person who really like great tasting alcohol. This offers the opportunity to sample super premium sakes from our reserve range. Also a small amount of our limited edition special buy ins from Japan and very low stock level (rare) sakes will be available for purchase. There will also be premium sakes available in the main section so as to compare to.

The stall will be manned at times by Perth’s Sake ‘Godfather’ Brett Carboni and Shochu Daimon Reef who can answer most of your questions regarding sake and Shochu. Japanese whisky will also be available for tasting. 

This will also give limited tours to the ‘vault’ our 20’ refrigerated container where we store most of our premium stock. 

How it works

Click on the day you wish to book for and when you make the booking choose which session. The first is from 12 – 2:30pm and is advisable as you can have lunch before you taste. (Please don’t book after 1:30pm as you will need more than an hour to taste a reasonable selection). The second is from 2:30-5pm. If you want you can make a booking at the restaurant for dinner after you finish (Tsunami opens at 6pm).

Sake no Jin is an 18+ event. You may want to arrange a friend or loved on to drop you off at the event and pick up later (there’s lots of shopping nearby) or arrange an Uber.
* Sake no Jin is a ‘tasting’ not a ‘drinking’ so please drink responsibly. Most sake is 15% ABV (around that of a strong red wine) so if you sample small sake cups sensibly you should be fine, especially if you dine on chef Tomo’s fine offerings on the two days.

Tickets are strictly non refundable but are transferable. We are unable to cater for non drinkers at this event.

So please don’t delay as space is limited. Book now.

Saturday’s festival

A good time to be had by all.
