Artisan Cheese and Sake Experience by Kokushu Creative

Join us at The Cheese Shop Nantwich for an informal and imaginative cheese and Sake tasting event.

Sake is more than just a drink – it’s a symbol of Japan’s history, craftsmanship, and community. Brewed from rice, water, yeast, and koji, a type of mould crucial to the fermentation process, sake has evolved over centuries. Every bottle tells a story of regional styles, ingredients, and brewing techniques. But sake is also woven into Japan’s most important customs, from weddings to festivals. A visiting master, called a  Kikisake-shi, will present a diverse and exciting range of Sakes for you to sample.

Working with Nick, our Affineur, they will select cheeses that pair specifically with each Sake.  Nick will explain the provenance and production of the Artisan Cheese and how each selected cheese has a history that can rival the history of Sake.

On arrival, enjoy a welcoming glass of beer as you view our cheese theatre before moving upstairs to our tasting room.

Cheeses are served with a presentation of their history, style, production method and taste. Sean will discuss the pairing and how to match beer with cheese.

The start time is 7pm and will run for approximately 150 minutes.
