This Session is personally hosted by the owner — a former sake brewer who trained for a year at a sake brewery in Osaka.
It is a masterclass-style experience where you can learn about the history, brewing process, and cultural depth of Japanese sake while savoring its diverse flavors.
The session takes place at "Sake Pairing Bar Potan", a refined space designed with traditional Japanese architecture where sake truly takes center stage.
Located in the Fukushima area, just minutes from central Osaka, it offers a serene yet accessible setting to learn directly from a sake professional.
As for me, the owner — I Traveled around 35 countries at the age of 20, immersing myself in different cultures.
That journey made me rediscover the beauty and richness of Japan, inspiring me to share its culture with people around the world through sake.
Beyond sake itself, I also love cross-cultural exchange, and I look forward to enjoying meaningful conversations with all of you during the experience.

I found this offer after looking a few times at different Sake tastings in Osaka and was super happy with the experience. My colleague and I had done a tasting the day before, but we weren't able to really learn about Sake at that time. Yuki is very knowledgeable about the brewing process and proudly shared based on the questions we asked throughout the experience. The sake we tasted was across the spectrum of styles and also even temperature so we could understand how heat impacts the drink. The space where he hosted us was beautiful and seemed authentically Japanese which is a big plus. I would highly recommend this experience!
