Proud to be the UK’s first sake brewery: crafting British-style sakes using traditional Japanese techniques, from Japan to London Bridge…

Welcome to the sake revolution! Brewed like a beer, enjoyed like a wine. Kanpai means“cheers”in Japanese. KANPAI sake is naturally low in sugar, gluten-free, sulphite-free, preservative-free and vegan.

The pioneers of British sake, founded in 2016, KANPAI is the UK’s first sake brewery. We craft award-winning modern British sake, using traditional Japanese ingredients and techniques. We take a zero-compromise approach to our ingredient sourcing and a patient approach to our low-temperature extended brewing methods.

KANPAI is experimental at heart and ongoing exploration forms a huge part of our motivation to brew sake - we launch one-off limited edition and seasonal styles, alongside our core range sakes. Our sake is crafted by us, for you; using the very best ingredients, custom equipment and love. All KANPAI sake is made from start to finish on site in our London Bridge brewery. We even hand fill and label every bottle ourselves to ensure the highest quality.

Above all, good sake deserves to be enjoyed amongst old friends and new! For this exact reason we were inspired to create the first sake taproom in Europe - originally opened in 2018. Now situated in London Bridge, our latest taproom is at the front of our main brewery. Sake lovers and newcomers alike can enjoy a slice of Japan in our very own home of sake in London.
