At My Sake World, you can create your own unique sake by blending carefully selected sake from all over Japan.
This is a new and experiential facility where you can learn about the characteristics and history of sake, compare different types of sake such as ginjo sake, junmai sake, unpasteurized sake, and aged sake, and enjoy customizing your own original sake combination to your liking.

This time, My Sake World Oike Bettei will be offering special snacks to go with the sake, which are not usually offered. An Otonami-exclusive plan will be available, allowing you to enjoy the high-quality pairing of carefully selected sake with Kyoto-style snacks.

The tour begins with a lecture on sake led by a guide. The participants will learn about the flavors that come from the different ingredients, such as rice, water, and yeast, the brewing methods for ginjo and junmai sake, the origins of aroma, and the role of sake in religious ceremonies.

Next, you will sample 12 types of sake carefully selected from around the country, mainly from breweries in Kyoto, while listening to explanations, and enjoy the differences in taste, aroma, and aftertaste.

Choose your favorite sake from the 12 varieties you sampled and then move on to the blending experience. You can make samples up to two times and register your favorite combination as your "My Recipe."

"Treasure Box of Delicacies" is a selection of snacks to enjoy with the original sake he blends himself. When you gently open the lid, colorful small bowls resembling hassun (a traditional Japanese dish) appear. The dishes are visually stunning, including smoked duck loin with black tea and dried figs soaked in sake. You can also enjoy pairing sake, which symbolizes fermentation culture, with cheese and miso.

Also, the grilled mackerel sushi, beloved by Kyoto residents, is a classic combination that takes advantage of the characteristics of sake, which reduces fishy smells and enhances the flavor. Each dish is accompanied by an explanation of how it pairs with sake and other important points. Opening the treasure box will unfold a moment where you can discover the philosophy behind the sake that goes well with it. It is an embodiment of the "iki" that is unique to Kyoto.
