Superior service & support for premium sake

Finest sake & shochu

World Sake Imports UK represents thirteen regional breweries and three shochu distilleries in the United Kingdom. They ask only one thing from us: that their sakes taste exactly the same in the U.K. as they do in Japan. We place our orders directly with the breweries for delivery via refrigerated trucks to a refrigerated warehouse in Tokyo. Orders are shipped to the U.K. in refrigerated containers. Once in the U.K., we monitor inventory closely with an eye to rapid turnover and prompt replenishment every month from Japan.

Our breweries

World Sake Imports was established in 1998 for the purpose of bringing premium sakes to restaurants and retails in the United States. The breweries and distilleries we represent are among the most respected in Japan, standard-bearers for the industry in terms of quality, innovation and technical mastery. Our close relationship with these brewers and distillers enables us to import the finest sakes and shochus produced in Japan today, as well as to develop new labels expressly for the U.S. and the U.K. market.

Care

Restaurants are today’s main education centers for sake appreciation, the places where people go to learn about and enjoy fine sakes. Our goal is to help restaurants across the United Kingdom introduce their customers to the pleasures of the sake cup. The sushi bars, nightclubs, restaurants and sake pubs listed on this website know how to care for sake and serve it properly. A visit to one of these establishments ensures a happy sake experience and, if the mood is right and the label delightful, perhaps even a sake epiphany.
