Hosted by Thomas Ng (Sakelier) alongside Tsuji-san of Tsuji Honten (Okayama, Japan), this guided tasting takes place in the intimate upstairs space at Yugen Tea Bar.

Explore a range of sakes (including a special unreleased pour) highlighting the craftsmanship of Gozenshu and its revival of the traditional Bodaimoto brewing method. The experience is paired with a menu by Chef Yu Orita (Yugen), centred on tuna in a head-to-tail expression including nigiri and sashimi, and izakaya-style plates.
