[March Only] Gotanda's Sushi Asahi Hosts Rare "Sanzo" 5-Sake Tasting Plan — Limited Lineup for Sake Lovers, Including Juyondai!

Taste 5 Varieties of "Sanzo" in One Sitting

Sushi Asahi (鮨あさひ) in Gotanda, Tokyo, is running a limited March plan that lets guests compare five different expressions of "Sanzo" (産土) — one of the most coveted and hard-to-find sake brands in Japan.

The highlight of the lineup is the "Sanzo Homase Nana-Nozo Fukuro-Tori GINZA SIX 8th Anniversary Sake", an extremely small-batch release created to mark the 8th anniversary of IMADEYA GINZA. This rare bottling is rarely seen outside of the original release event, making this a genuine opportunity for sake enthusiasts.

The plan covers sake with different rice varieties and brewing grades — allowing guests to explore Sanzo's characteristic lightness, rice umami, and aroma side by side.

Period: March 12 (Thu) – March 31 (Tue), 2026

Serving size: 60 ml per variety

Capacity: Limited to 12 guests (reservations close once capacity is reached)
