Ginza · Inside Ginza Six, B2F, near Ginza Station
Why we recommend it
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
Hasegawa Saketen Nihonbashi
長谷川酒店 日本橋店
¥¥ · 45 min · English: partial
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.
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.
