Brewed like a beer, enjoyed like a wine. KANPAI means “cheers” in Japanese.
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. All our sake is naturally gluten-free, vegan and sulphite-free.
Our passion for sake led us to create a unique experience: the first sake taproom in Europe. Our taproom invites both seasoned sake lovers and newcomers to enjoy this extraordinary drink in a warm and welcoming setting. It’s the perfect place to sip, learn, and discover your favourite style of sake.
Over the years, we’ve been honoured to supply shops, bars, and restaurants across London and the UK. Whether you visit us at our brewery or order online, we’re here to share the joy of sake with you. With over five years in Peckham and now a new chapter in London Bridge, we remain committed to brewing the freshest, most exciting sake for our fellow curious drinkers.
Raise a glass with us to the #SakeRevolution. KANPAI!
