They will also teach you how to enjoy the alcohol at its most delicious state, such as how to pair it with ingredients, the right temperature, and how to drink it healthily. They value helping to deepen connections between people through alcohol and preserving and passing on Japanese sake culture.

Tour Contents
In addition, an original SOE plan is now on sale at the bar counter of the Kubota Liquor Store, where you can sample and compare local sake in lacquered glasses. In Sabae City, famous for the production of Echizen lacquerware, we have specially lacquered sake glasses made by a famous glass maker, and in these rare glasses, you can enjoy local sake carefully selected by the owner of Kubota Liquor Store.
The owner will explain the differences in sake, like how glasses for junmai sake have a wide opening whereas glasses for daiginjo sake have a narrower opening to trap the aroma and has depth to its shape which is its characteristic.
The glass itself is transparent, so you can clearly see the brownish hue of the raw lacquer. Moreover, as the lacquer ages, the color will gradually change. This is an enjoyment only available through using a natural substance.
Also, by applying lacquer to the sake glasses, it not only changes the appearance but also the flavor of the sake.
In addition, lacquer is said to have antibacterial properties, so it can be expected to be effective in terms of hygiene. Why not experience tasting sake using different sake cups?
