Where can we taste these?

Sorry, these Japanese Sake don’t export to Vancouver. Please visit Japan and enjoy.
BUT, Dewanosato, that is champion Sake in 2016, is in Vancouver. It is possible to taste just a glass of it in some Japanese or Chinese restaurant. If you want to get more information, feel free to contact us.
