Kuramoto

Thursday 16. July Friday 17. July Saturday 18. July

Tied to nature, patient, and profound: For over 150 years, Kuramoto Shuzo has been brewing sake of the highest quality in the mountainous countryside surrounding Nara. Master brewer Takashi Kuramoto is the seventh-generation custodian of this family legacy and makes perfect use of the pristine resources of his homeland. The most important ingredient? Time. Takashi allows the rice an extremely long time to ferment in order to capture an exceptionally fine and gentle character.

The foundation: crystal-clear mountain spring water. The helpers: natural lactic acid bacteria. The secret: an extremely long fermentation period for the rice. The result: “Good things take time,” bottled by hand.

Let's have some Sake!

Do you have plans for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday? We have some great guests over: Sake from Japan and Berlin – both the young and the wild breweries, as well as the established, traditional ones. There are countless bottles to taste – crafted by hand and picked with love. Over 1,000 years of history right there in every glass, and a real sake samurai's there, too. Come through, it's gonna be lovely!

Sake

The art of Japanese brewing, savoured like fine wine. Three ingredients: rice, water, yeast. From which springs a world of flavours that defies convention. From crystal-clear, floral and elegant to unfiltered, wild and pleasantly edgy.

Our Sake Market brings the craft to Markthalle Neun. Quality that stands apart from mass production, with a focus on the people behind it. No formality, no technical jargon. Instead, simplicity: straightforward tasting, conversation on equal terms and a direct link to breweries and experts. Grab a glass and rediscover sake.
