About Sake Shoten

About Sake Shoten

SakeShoten.com delivers exclusive and world class Sake to the UK and also some firm favourites that are already here. The aim is for you to try this wonderful beverage in all its forms.

Due to the exclusive nature of the stock we hold, we will sell out quickly, so we can rotate to different ones coming through. As we build our range, you can come on the sake journey with us!

SakeShoten.com is run by Chris Ashton who managed the International Wine Challenge for over 16 years and was instrumental in developing the Sake division within the IWC. Whether you are looking for somewhere to buy Japanese sake online because you're already aware of this delicious beverage, or you're interested in trying something new, we have everything you need right here. 

Chris is a 'Cool Japan' Ambassador for the Japanese Government and also a Sake Samurai, awarded by the Sake Samurai Association, the Junior council of the Sake and Shochu Brewers Association in Japan.

There are 97 Sake Samurai worldwide.
