Get your first taste of fresh, unpasteurised, locally-brewed sake from this newly opened brewery in the Distillery with an award-winning brewmaster from Japan on board. I made a trip out to the East side of the city on a lovely sunny day to try... well, everything they had on offer.
With 6 stools at their tasting bar, it was a tight squeeze 2-3 people deep when I arrived. The tasting flight was three of their sake's, and all were pretty decent and varied. But the best was a Shiboritate (fresh-pressed sake) that is only currently available by the glass. Full of flavour and packs a punch.
One thing to note is that their bottles go from a smaller 300ml (roughly $15/bottle), then jumps to a whopping 1.8L.
