Welcome to 'Savoring Japan’s Traditions.' I am Motomi, a Japanese sake specialist (Kikisake-shi).

We aim to enrich everyone’s knowledge about the wonderful aspects of Japan by introducing you to Japanese events, along with the related cuisine and Japanese sake.
Japan is home to a variety of traditional events that are distinct from those in other countries. Thanks to the four seasons — spring, summer, autumn, and winter — many events and customs display unique seasonal characteristics, adding to their allure.

Japanese culture is rich with a variety of events, from historic events that have been celebrated for centuries, to annual traditional events, and significant life ceremonies. These events are classified into 'traditional events', 'annual events', and 'life ceremonies', each enjoyed with matching cuisine and sake.

Sake, with its profound cultural significance, has recently gained international popularity.
However, the knoweldge of sake tasting and pairing might still be unfamiliar to many.

On this website, we not only show you how to cook Japanese cuisine but also how to appreciate sake, including how to pair it with dishes such as those you would find in an izakaya.

We are excited to share the joy of savoring Japan's traditions through its cuisine and sake with you.
