Dégustation de saké à Tokyo | Artisanat d’art et espace privé
Le saké change avec le contenant —
et lorsque celui-ci est une véritable pièce d’artisanat japonais, l’expérience s’approfondit.
Cette expérience se déroule avec des pièces d’artisanat (fine crafts) de la collection wanova,
au sein d’un espace d’art contemporain japonais, discret et privé à Tokyo.
Certaines pièces incluent des œuvres de Trésors nationaux vivants,
offrant une occasion rare d’expérimenter un artisanat d’exception par l’usage direct.
La dégustation est guidée par Mako Yamamoto,
plus jeune finaliste du 6e concours mondial de kikizakeshi (2025),
kikizakeshi (sommelier du saké certifié).
En dégustant le même saké dans différents contenants — verre à vin, ochoko, sakazuki, et guinomi d’artistes —
vous découvrirez comment la matière et la forme influencent la perception.
Ce n’est pas une simple dégustation.
C’est une rencontre — entre le saké, l’artisanat et l’espace.
