This was one of the highlights of my trip to tokyo. I’ve never had the opportunity to try so many different tropes of sake in my life. They had about 200 options at reasonable prices to taste. I was not aware of sparkling, aged, or cask varieties. I would have loved to have more detailed information about the different types, or some guided tastings; however the staff (two friendly/knowledgeable women) were very helpful. I’ll definitely do this again on my next visit — especially as they said they have new options every 3 weeks. As with many places in Japan, I often feel like I am trespassing as the signage is much less obvious/inviting than in America so you may need to look around a little to find the entrance. I only found this place as the concierge at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo pointed me here.

It's not really a museum per say, more like a bar with a video of how to make sake. However they do serve a wide range of sake and sōchū, excellent for beginners. Well prices and accessible of English speakers too.

A cozy place to try some Amazake, Sake, Shochu. This place has many different variety such as drinks brands, fermentation ages, alcohol percentages, etc. You can order a set drinks for taste trials. Price is very reasonable.

Fun stop if you’re into sake & shochu. Really wide variety on offer for a really reasonable price and you can buy the bottles too. Not much explanation from the staff, only the mini write up in the brochure though. Location is in an office building. It wasn’t so educational in English i.e., not much guidance from the staff though. But, plenty of interesting things to taste e.g., drinking mirin, taruzake, aged sake, seasonal sake, shochu with slightly less common ingredients. And you can customize your tasting exactly to only what you want. Recommend if you’re interested in sake / shochu!

I have tried a lot of shochu in the past, but the standard flight here did not include any I had tasted before. The sake is also quite unique. Their selection may not be as impressive to some, but there is limited supply in the US and few well-curated tastings where I live. I was very impressed, learned a lot, and was exposed to both sake and shochu I had never seen before of high quality and reasonable price
