A New Wave of Japanese Spirits

Nestled in the historic streets of Asakusa, WASAKE is not your typical sake bar.
It’s a creative space where Japan’s traditional sake culture meets modern mixology.
Here, you won’t just sip sake—you’ll experience it in forms you’ve never imagined before.
The name “WASAKE” itself is a play on words: “WA”, meaning Japan or harmony, and “SAKE”, the iconic rice-based beverage. Together, they represent a harmonious blend of old and new Japan.

From Classic Sake to Innovative Cocktails

WASAKE takes pride in reinterpreting sake through the lens of craftsmanship.
In addition to classic junmai and ginjo varieties, you’ll find sake cocktails infused with seasonal fruits, herbs, and even spices.
Imagine sipping a yuzu-flavored sake spritz or a smoky umeshu fusion while watching the lights of Asakusa’s streets glimmer outside.
The bartenders are true artisans—each drink is carefully balanced to preserve the delicate umami of sake while introducing unexpected twists.

A Space That Captures Asakusa’s Soul

The interior of WASAKE mirrors the spirit of Asakusa itself: nostalgic yet evolving.
Wooden counter seats, soft lighting, and minimal decor evoke the quiet charm of an old izakaya—but with a sleek, contemporary sensibility.
Whether you come alone for a peaceful drink or with friends to explore Japanese flavors, you’ll feel a sense of comfort and discovery.

For Travelers Seeking More Than a Drink

WASAKE is not only a bar; it’s an introduction to the living culture of Japan’s craftsmanship and hospitality.
Many visitors find it a perfect stop after visiting Senso-ji Temple or strolling through Asakusa’s backstreets.
If you’re eager to go beyond tourist experiences and taste Japan’s creative evolution, WASAKE is a must-visit destination.
