Premium Sake Pub Gashue — Restaurant in Tokyo

A Tokyo Gem for Sake Enthusiasts

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of visiting Premium Sake Pub Gashue in Tokyo, and we can confidently say that it's an absolute gem in this bustling city. From the moment we stepped inside, it was evident that this was going to be a unique and unforgettable experience.

One of the standout features of Premium Sake Pub Gashue is their thoughtful approach to catering to international guests. The menu, thoughtfully presented in English, immediately put us at ease and eliminated any language barriers. This thoughtful touch allowed us to focus on what truly matters – the exquisite world of sake.

We opted for the sake tasting experience with food pairings, and it turned out to be a decision we would not regret. The gracious and knowledgeable host, Kako, went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. He took the time to explain the nuances of different sake varieties, providing insights into their flavors, aromas, and characteristics. Kako's passion for sake was evident in his engaging and informative descriptions.

What truly set Premium Sake Pub Gashue apart was Kako's detailed explanation of the sake-making process. Learning about the intricate steps involved, from rice polishing to fermentation, added depth to our appreciation of this Japanese beverage. Kako also shared his expertise on how to read a sake bottle label and, most importantly, how to pair sake with food. This newfound knowledge transformed our tasting experience into a journey of exploration, delighting our taste buds with every sip and bite.

The service at Premium Sake Pub Gashue was nothing short of exceptional. Kako's warmth, attentiveness, and genuine passion for sake elevated the entire evening. It's rare to encounter such dedicated and gracious hosts who take the time to ensure that their guests have a truly immersive and enjoyable experience.

In all honesty, our visit to Premium Sake Pub Gashue surpassed even the paid food tours we had previously embarked upon in Tokyo. The combination of education, hospitality, and the sheer joy of savoring exceptional sake in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere made this an unforgettable experience. We left with a newfound appreciation for sake and a desire to return for more.

In conclusion, Premium Sake Pub Gashue is a hidden gem in Tokyo that should not be missed by anyone with a love for sake or a desire to learn more about this Japanese treasure. Thanks to Kako's expertise and warm hospitality, it has been one of the best experiences my partner and I have had in Tokyo, and we eagerly look forward to our next visit.

Is it possible to have seven stars for service? We walked in without a reservation to discover that a party of five could not be accommodated. However, Fumiaki Kako, the owner gave our three kids the table and had my wife and me sit at the bar. We ordered a sake flight to start and that's when our adventure began. You don't just get excellent sake here. You get a sake mini-course while you sip and eat excellent food (pairing the deep-fried chicken with the chicken cartilage with pickle is highly recommended. You won't find this in the States!). So our four-sake flight turned into a 15-sake flight in no time. Complete with laminated cards showing how sake is made and how the rice is prepared. The bottle and beautiful glasses line up and the food keeps coming (you haven't lived until you eat a plate of their hot anchovy French fries). And the whole time Kako keeps up a steady stream of fascinating information about this wonderful drink while also running a very bustling and lively joint. We were all very impressed and charmed. Wonderful service, wonderful food, great kindness shown to five Americans on their first trip to Japan. We got to don the official aprons and take a picture with Kako as well. Once again, just walk down any small street or alley anywhere in japan and an amazing dinner experience can be found. This one was a highlight of our trip. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us, Kako, and for you sage advice to match sake drinking with...

Great selection of sake with wonderful service and a passion to impart knowledge of Sake to the willing.

I’ve been here twice, once with my father and also later on with my wife. The Sake flights and food pairings are highly recommended and you can really learn a lot about the world of Sake. Every question was patiently answered and easy to understand. The food is surprisingly good and carefully chosen to match the drinks. Later I learned that a lot of the dishes were prepared with sake or sake by products. I really liked the sake prepared with wine yeast called Arroz. Thanks to the bar, I can now easily pick out sakes more to my liking at restaurants or in shops instead of stabbing in the dark.

I’ve also been on a few wine tours in Napa Valley and a few beer tours in Japan but none have really matched up to this place. The master really wants people to understand and enjoy Sake. He brings out graphs, diagrams, bottles, and samples of polished rice to help anyone understand the different types. Sometimes questions led to a small free sample of Sake, like when we asked how the temperature would change the flavor he poured a small warmed-up sample of one of the flight sakes to really compare to the chilled cup.

It’s too bad that the sake flight is only on the English menu because I think even Japanese people can get a better understanding by visiting.

Will definitely come back and buy some extra bottles to...
