Different crafts. Different origins. One shared appreciation for things made with care.

Grateful to have served our sparkling sake at the × showroom evening.

For one evening, we found ourselves sharing a space with people from different backgrounds, connected through a shared appreciation for craftsmanship.

Conversations unfolded over a glass, and moments appeared quietly before passing on — a reminder that some experiences become meaningful precisely because they do not last.

Nakagawa × Carl Hansen & Søn Crafting the Everyday: 300 Years of Nara meets Danish Modernism

At the Carl Hansen & Søn showroom in Clerkenwell, Japanese craftsmanship and Danish modernism are brought into dialogue.

Thank you to Nakagawa and Carl Hansen & Søn for creating a space where different crafts could meet.

🗓️ 19 May – 16 June 2026 📍 16A Bowling Green Lane, EC1R 0BD, London

Each encounter, once in a lifetime.

A question,
a pour,
a shared moment.

This is why I do what I do.

Last weekend at Shotengai Market, King’s Cross.

Conversations,
first sips,
and quiet smiles.

Each encounter, different —
each one, here only for a moment.

A soft spring afternoon.

Fleeting, like the season itself.
Some moments are shared over a glass.�Others stay with you.

’re back at this April.

A few days where Japanese craft, flavour, and culture quietly gather in one place — and we’ll be there, pouring.

This time, we’re bringing something truly fleeting.

— Haru awa Our seasonal expression of spring. Delicate, crisp, and here only for a short moment.

Alongside it, our core and experimental range:
• Classic awa — refined, balanced, elegant bubbles • Nigori awa — soft, creamy, gently cloudy • Classic nama — fresh, unpasteurised, quietly expressive

And a few things beyond sake:
• Blueberry Koji Soda — light, refreshing, softly fermented • Miso Sake Kasu — mellow, rounded umami • Shoyu Sake Kasu — deep, savoury richness

Come by, taste slowly, and stay for a moment.

📍  Lower Stable Street, Coal Drops Yard, King’s Cross
🗓 16–19 April (Thu–Sun)
　　Find us there 17–19 April (Fri–Sun) ⏰ 11:00–18:00

Some things are only meant to be experienced in person.

Our fresh sake kasu is back.

Released in quiet rhythm with the 二十四節気 (the 24 Japanese solar terms), each small batch is shaped by its own moment in the unfolding year.

Every release sells out within weeks.
Sourced by some of the UK’s most creative chefs — including Michelin-starred kitchens, where it finds its way from savoury dishes through to desserts.

What makes ours different is its freshness, and the use of more than double the koji compared to standard sake kasu — resulting in a depth of fruitiness and nutritional richness that feels almost otherworldly.

Available now, until it quietly disappears once more.

🌸 Haru awa — Bubbles of Spring

A fleeting moment, captured in a bottle.

Co-fermented with British rhubarb�and a hint of Japanese yuzu, Haru awa brings together bright tartness, delicate citrus, and fine, elegant bubbles.

Crisp, refreshing, and quietly expressive —�a taste of spring as the season turns.

Enjoy it slowly,�or share it with someone special.

Now available.

Crispy Karaage with Shoyu Sake Kasu

Japanese fried chicken — elevated by fermentation.
This simple marinade transforms chicken into something deeply savoury, tender, and full of umami.

How to make it: • Marinate chicken thighs in Shoyu Sake Kasu for a few hours (or overnight). • Lightly coat with flour. • Fry at 170°C until crisp and golden.
During the marinade, the natural enzymes in the sake kasu gently tenderise the meat while drawing out its natural umami.

The result: Crispy on the outside. Juicy on the inside. Deeply satisfying.

Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon.
Simple cooking — guided by fermentation.

Shoyu Sake Kasu will be available again on the 15th of this month.

Save this recipe to try at home.
