Which option works best for your trip?

Start with Beginner / Standard

This is the recommended choice for most first-time travelers: short, approachable, and easy to book directly.

Choose private if meaning and pacing matter more

Private works best when atmosphere, explanation, and a more personal memory justify the higher ticket.

Choose group if you are planning for others

Group formats are designed around organizer needs such as headcount, venue fit, and itinerary reliability.

Original sake label calligraphy

Hand-write your own kanji onto a real sake bottle label and turn the workshop into a one-of-a-kind gift bottle. Available as an add-on for any class format with advance request.

Wedding & Anniversary

A bottle that carries the moment

Choose a meaningful kanji such as 寿 (long life), 縁 (connection), or 永 (eternity) and write it onto the label yourself. The bottle becomes a marriage gift, anniversary keepsake, or proposal moment that no shop can sell.

Corporate & Hotel Gifting

A signature gift for clients and partners

Hand-written sake labels work for executive gifting, hotel concierge requests, and VIP welcomes. The bottle is one of one, the label is your own brushwork, and the story attached makes the gift memorable far beyond the trip.

How To Request

Tell us in advance

The sake bottle is prepared in advance, so we ask for a few days notice. Send your event, the kind of kanji you have in mind, and your party size. We will help you choose characters that fit the occasion before you arrive.
