On the morning of Saturday, April 18 (Day 2 of the show), the Kyoto-based Sasaki Shuzo Co., Ltd. — represented exclusively at our booth — Sasaki Shuzo's Gold-Award Daiginjo and Jurakudai Junmaidaiginjo LIMITED EDITION was officially selected by the Taipei International Wine & Spirits Exhibition Secretariat as a featured pour in the show's official "Japanese Sake Seminar."



With hundreds of brands and sake varieties on display this year, being chosen as one of the limited featured pours of the public sake seminar is a remarkable recognition of the brewery's craftsmanship, and a tremendous honor for our group as their Taiwan partner.


The seminar drew Taiwanese importers, sommeliers, beverage media, and dedicated sake enthusiasts, who were introduced first-hand to the delicate aromatics and refined palate that define Sasaki Shuzo's century-old Kyoto Rakuchu brewing tradition.


A rare moment captured at our booth: Mr. Akira Sasaki, President of Sasaki Shuzo Co., Ltd., and his sales representative personally pour and introduce their gold-award sake to visitors from Taiwan.


The bottle being poured is a Daiginjo crowned with the Gold Award at the Annual Japan Sake Awards (Zenkoku Shinshu Kanpyō-kai) — Japan's most prestigious and longest-running sake competition, organized by the National Research Institute of Brewing (NRIB) since 1911.


Sasaki Shuzo is renowned as the only remaining sake brewery in Kyoto's historic Rakuchu (inner-city) district, making this hands-on tasting — led by the brewer himself — an exceptionally valuable opportunity for the Taiwanese trade and sake community.
