Zenith is the English name for Tatenokawa’s newest sake, a Junmai Daiginjo, made with Dewasansan rice, polished all the way down to 1%. That’s just 1% of the rice grain left after months of polishing. No-one has ever accomplished this before. To celebrate, we invited Naomi-san from Tatenokawa to come over to the UK, teamed up with London’s ROKA Restaurant and, on 5th February 2018, held a dinner to be remembered. (more…)

On 15th May the British Sake Association hosted a sake dinner for their members and guests at London’s Anzu restaurant. Our Director, Oliver, was invited along to present a selection of sakes, all paired with Anzu’s excellent food. The event was sold out and we welcomed 22 people for dinner.
And the party starts here! A selection of sakes to try by the glass, sake cocktails, bar snacks on order and awesome tunes!
Free entry, no reservations needed. Party starts 1st October from 9:30pm ’til late.
If you’re interested in our paired dinner beforehand, starting at 7pm, check this out!

Kurobuta takes its inspiration from the Izakayas of Japan, where tapas-style plates are served to accompany drinks in a casual setting and to mark World Sake Day 2016 on 1st October, owner and chef Scott Hallsworth will be putting on a sake dinner and after party like no other at his Chelsea restaurant.
With Scott at the helm, the food is going to be out of this world and will be paired with epic sake samplers carefully selected by Tengu Sake, who supply incredible sake from multiple award-winning Japanese breweries.
This one-off evening will kick off in Kurobuta Chelsea’s basement at 7pm, where guests will be welcomed with amazing Japanese inspired canapés alongside killer sake cocktails.
This will be closely followed by a six-course, sake paired feast with all dishes being cooked in front of guests by Scott himself. Culinary theatre at its very best!
Oliver Hilton-Johnson from Tengu Sake will also be in the house, serving up his excellent sake and giving guests the lowdown on each pour.
Then from 9.30 onwards there will be a DJ getting everyone in the mood to party Kurobuta style, plenty more sake cocktails available to buy. Check out the party!
To book your tickets for the Sake dinner and/or place on the after party guest list please email Chelsea@kurobuta-london.com or call 0207 920 6442 mentioning WORLD SAKE DAY DINNER. Tickets are £50 per person and are very limited!

Last month I has the pleasure of joint-hosting a wonderful sake dinner with Honami Matsumoto from House of Sake at the spectacular and prestigious Umu Restaurant in London’s Mayfair.
To ensure an intimate setting the dinner was strictly limited to 10 places. Chef Ishii prepared a sublime six course meal with delicious green tea and delicate pastries to finish. Each course was paired with a different sake from our portfolio and Honami-san carefully selected exquisite sake cups and other service wares to enhance the experience. Overall it really was a night to remember.
A big, big thanks to all those who came and, of course, to Ryosuke Mashio the Head Sommelier at Umu for his wonderful service. (more…)
On 9th March our Director, in association with the British Sake Association, presented the new line up of sakes from Tengu Sake at Salmontini Le Resto in London’s Belgravia.
