This Session is personally hosted by the owner — a former sake brewer who trained for a year at a sake brewery in Osaka. It is a masterclass-style experience where you can learn about the history, brewing process, and cultural depth of Japanese sake while savoring its diverse flavors. The session takes place at "Sake Pairing Bar Potan", a refined space designed with traditional Japanese architecture where sake truly takes center stage. Located in the Fukushima area, just minutes from central Osaka, it offers a serene yet accessible setting to learn directly from a sake professional. As for me, the owner — I Traveled around 35 countries at the age of 20, immersing myself in different cultures. That journey made me rediscover the beauty and richness of Japan, inspiring me to share its culture with people around the world through sake. Beyond sake itself, I also love cross-cultural exchange, and I look forward to enjoying meaningful conversations with all of you during the experience.

The bar was beautiful, in a great location, and very comfortable. Yuki, our host, was very knowledgeable about sake, and walked through an extensive tasting with us. We walked away with a greater point of view on our preferences. It was a good experience overall!
We had a wonderful evening at a sake bar. Yuki, the brewmaster, was able to tell us many interesting details about sake in a very knowledgeable and entertaining way. We tasted different sakes, also at different temperatures. The tasting was accompanied by 3 very delicious appetizers.
Amazing experience, such a cool space, knowledgable guide and lovely sake.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review — this is Yuki! I’m really happy you enjoyed the space, the sake, and the experience itself. It was a pleasure sharing a little of the world of sake with you! There’s always another bottle and another story to discover, so I hope we can continue the sake journey next time you’re in Osaka. Kanpai! 🍶 Yuki
It was a 10/10 experience that was incredibly thought throught. It was really interesting hearing a breakdown of the making process for sake. All the different sake we tasted were also very delicious. Our guide was made the experience even better by being very kind and easy to talk to. Highly recommend this experience
Thank you so much for the wonderful review — this is Yuki! A 10/10 means a lot to me! I’m really happy you enjoyed not only tasting the different sakes, but also learning about how sake is made and the ideas behind each style. Sake can get quite technical, so I always try to make it approachable, interesting, and most importantly, fun to drink. It was a pleasure chatting with you throughout the tasting. Thank you for recommending the experience, and I hope to welcome you back for another sake adventure next time you’re in Osaka! Kanpai! 🍶 Yuki
Yuki was an incredible guide to the world of Sake. The sake was amazing, we definitely don’t get sake like this back in the states!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review — this is Yuki! I’m really happy you enjoyed exploring the world of sake with me. Japan has such an incredible variety of sake, so it was a pleasure introducing you to some bottles and styles that are harder to come across back in the States. Hopefully, we’ve made choosing sake back home a little more fun — and maybe a little more difficult now that your standards are higher! Thank you again, and I hope to share a few more special bottles with you next time you’re in Osaka. Kanpai! 🍶 Yuki
Whether you know little or nothing about Japanese sake, it's an experience worth having. The setting is friendly and discovering good products is done in a relaxed atmosphere.
Thank you so much for your kind review — this is Yuki! I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the experience of discovering sake. One of my goals is to create a space where anyone — whether completely new to sake or already a fan — can feel comfortable exploring it at their own pace. Sake can seem complex at first, but I believe it becomes much more enjoyable when experienced in a friendly and welcoming environment. Thank you again for spending time with us in Osaka. I hope your sake journey continues long after your trip. Kanpai! 🍶Yuki
What a wonderful experience! Yuki was a fantastic host, speaks great English, and demonstrates his knowledge of the sake craft with grace and laughter. We drank delicious sake, had a few tasty bites, and left with a much better working knowledge of sake. Price was quite reasonable for a HEALTHY amount of sake, matching snacks, and Yuki’s knowledge. The bar space is gorgeous, designed and purpose-built by Yuki and his father.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review — this is Yuki! I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the sake, the food, and the overall experience. Sharing the world of sake through conversation, laughter, and discovery is exactly what I hope guests can take away from their time here. I especially appreciate your kind words about the space itself. Designing and building this bar together with my father was a very personal journey for us, so hearing that the atmosphere left such an impression means a great deal to me. And yes… perhaps the amount of sake was a little “generous” 😄 But I’m glad you left with both happy memories and a deeper understanding of sake. Thank you again for spending your time with us in Osaka. I hope we can share another glass together someday. Kanpai! 🍶 Yuki
Yuki was a genuinely brilliant host, taking us through a number of different varieties of sake, and walking us through the process of production. I could not recommend this more.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words — this is Yuki! I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring the different varieties of sake and learning about the brewing process. One of my favorite parts of these tastings is helping guests discover just how diverse and fascinating sake can be. Your recommendation means a great deal to me, and I’m very grateful you chose to spend part of your time in Osaka with us. I hope this experience stays with you long after your trip — and that we’ll share another glass of sake together someday. Kanpai! 🍶 Yuki
This sake tasting was an amazing experience. Super informative, educational, and we tried a bunch of high quality sakes. The bar is beautiful and Yuki is super knowledgeable. I’d recommend this to anyone wanting a unique experience in Osaka.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review — this is Yuki! I’m truly happy to hear that you found the tasting both educational and enjoyable. Sake has such a deep and fascinating world behind it, so it means a lot that you were able to experience that through the different styles and high-quality selections we shared. I’m also very glad you enjoyed the atmosphere of the bar. Creating a beautiful and relaxing space where guests can slowly discover sake is something I care deeply about. Thank you for recommending the experience to others visiting Osaka — that truly means a lot to me. I hope to welcome you back someday for another unique sake journey. Kanpai! 🍶 Yuki
Fun experience. Yuki was able to answer all questions and made the tasting enjoyable. Would comeback next time I’m in town.
