Operators / A guided sake tasting
Hasegawa Saketen Nihonbashi
長谷川酒店 日本橋店
Nihonbashi · Nihonbashi Station (Ginza / Tozai / Toei Asakusa lines)
Why we recommend it
A long-running sake, shochu and wine specialist shop with a standing bar attached, in the Nihonbashi district rather than a tourist-oriented pop-up. Bottles are chosen by an in-house sake specialist across its seven Tokyo shops, so the by-the-glass flight at the counter reflects genuine retail expertise, not a fixed tourist tasting set.
- How to book
- Walk-in at the standing bar counter; the shop also has an English homepage for browsing its sake selection in advance.

We deliberately publish no opening hours or prices — they change. Every place links to its official site, which is the source of truth.

Ginza
IMADEYA Ginza
いまでや 銀座店
¥¥ · 60 min · English: yes
IMADEYA is a long-established sake and shochu retailer whose Ginza Six shop pairs a curated bottle shop with a kaku-uchi (in-store tasting bar) counter, letting visitors taste sake by the glass poured by staff who also sell the bottles. The multilingual retail site makes it one of the more accessible sake-tasting stops for non-Japanese speakers.
Nihonbashi
Toyama Bar (Nihonbashi Toyama-kan)
とやまバー（日本橋とやま館）
¥ · 20 min · English: partial
Part of Toyama Prefecture's own antenna shop in Nihonbashi, this counter bar pours sake from 17 breweries in Toyama so visitors can compare regional styles side by side rather than relying on a single restaurant's list. It functions as an official prefectural information point as much as a bar, aimed at casual, no-reservation tasting.
