Dear all,
Under ongoing Coronavirus outbreak, like many other industry, hospitality industry is on fire. Most sake distributed in Europe is predominantly consumed at restaurants, which means these sake in stock in each distributors have nowhere to go during this ever-lasting lockdown.
I have created a list online shops in Europe you can directly buy sake from, and delivered to your door! Please let me know if I’m missing any shops in your area. Hope we could all get through this uneasy time with little relaxing and delicious moments with sake.
