１. Corporate Sake Tastings & Events

Service 1: Corporate Sake Tastings & Events
A memorable sake experience for companies, teams, and international guests

​

Jijisake offers guided sake tastings and corporate sake events for companies, international teams, and organizations looking for a unique cultural experience in Tokyo.

 

Key Features of the Experience:

  • Tailored & Engaging: Designed to be enjoyable, engaging, and educational.

  • Complete Experience: Combines clear sake explanations, guided tasting, cultural storytelling, and practical tips that guests can take home.

  • All-Levels Welcome: Whether your guests are completely new to sake or already familiar with Japanese food and drink culture, the experience can be adapted to their level and interests.

​

Tasting Structure & Themes:

  • Curated Selection: A typical tasting includes around five carefully chosen sake to showcase the diversity of the sake world (from classic styles to more modern expressions).

  • Flexible Customization: The number and style of sake can be adjusted depending on the type of event.

  • Confidence Boosting: The goal is not only to enjoy sake, but also to help guests understand it with more confidence. By the end, participants will learn how to taste sake, recognize different styles, and enjoy it in a more informed, relaxed way.

​

Event Formats & Locations:

  • Highly Flexible: Can take place at your company office, a meeting room, a conference space, a hotel, a private venue, or at a specially arranged location in Tokyo.

  • Fully Customized: The structure, length, number of sake, and overall style can be tailored to match your group size, schedule, and goals.

​

Led by Industry Authority:

  • All tastings are led by Giulia Maglio, founder of Jijisake, SSA Sake Educator, certified Sake Sommelier, and active sake brewer based in Tokyo.

  • Giulia brings together professional sake education, hands-on brewery experience, and years of international project experience, including her role as co-organizer of the Tokyo Sake Challenge.
     

Pricing & Proposals:

  • Because each corporate event is different, pricing depends on the format, location, group size, number of sake, and any additional arrangements (venue rental or food pairing).

  • Please contact Jijisake to discuss your event, and we will create a tailored proposal for your team.
