If you're looking to buy sake in Nagoya, I highly recommend Otake.

It's incredibly convenient to visit, located right in the Central Park underground mall, directly connected to Sakae Station.

Beyond offering a fantastic selection of sake from the Nagoya region and beyond, the shop is immaculately clean, and the staff are wonderfully friendly. This makes it a welcoming spot even for first-time sake explorers.

But what truly made Otake stand out for me was something special.

The Sake Bar (Tachinomi)

The flavor of sake is influenced by numerous factors, including its region of origin and polishing ratio. For many of us, sake is still a relatively new experience, and it can be hard to know where to start.

Otake uniquely combines a sake bar with a retail shop, meaning you can taste different sakes before making a purchase.

This approach is perfect for those new to sake. When you're unsure of your preferences, sampling a variety of options significantly reduces the chance of buying a bottle you won't enjoy.

Sake Tasting Prices by Color

At Otake, sake grades and prices are categorized by color. These are the after-tax prices for a 1.5 fl oz (45ml) serving.

Color	Price (1.5 fl oz, after tax)
🔴 Red	~$2
🟢 Green	~$3
🟡 Yellow	~$3
🟣 Purple	~$4
⚫ Black	~$5

If it's your first visit, I recommend starting with the staff's "O-susume" (recommendation) or the 🔴 Red category.

I tried a glass of 🔴 'Sake ya Otake,' which is exclusive to this shop. It was incredibly clean and crisp, making it a crowd-pleaser with broad appeal. A full bottle costs around ~$14, making it an excellent souvenir or gift idea.

My second tasting was 🟡'Horaisen Silver.' I was actually hoping to find something similar to 'Michizakura,' which I enjoyed in Hokkaido, but it wasn't available, so this was a recommended alternative.

🟡Horaisen Silver hails from Aichi Prefecture, where Nagoya is located. A single glass costs ~$3. This sake had a richer aroma and was incredibly smooth, making it a very approachable and enjoyable choice for many.

Today, I've shared my recommendation for a fantastic sake shop in Nagoya. Even if you don't plan to buy a bottle, it's a wonderful spot to enjoy a quick glass or two. The vibe is very local, with many Japanese residents popping in for a single drink on their way through the Sakae underground mall, morning or evening.

Given its convenient location and sake's rising popularity as a trendy beverage, I highly recommend stopping by Otake for a unique tasting experience during your visit.
