About
Sasagin is where many Tokyo sake lovers go to learn. The owner keeps a cellar of about 100 sakes, many from small breweries, and the staff will recommend by flavour and temperature, from crisp chilled ginjo to warmed aged junmai. The food is excellent izakaya-style cooking designed to pair, and the atmosphere is lively and local in a quiet residential neighbourhood just north of Shibuya.
