SAKE HUNDRED Hosts Exquisite Pairing Dinner in Taiwan

In March 2025, Japan's premium sake brand, SAKE HUNDRED, hosted an elegant pairing dinner at THE UKAI TAIPEI in Taipei, Taiwan, marking a significant event just three months after starting exports to the region. The dinner attracted 23 affluent guests, including influencers, who came to experience the brand's luxurious sake offerings.

The event showcased SAKE HUNDRED's flagship lineup of nine products, featuring remarkable selections such as BYAKKO, BYAKKO BESPOKE, and NIKO, along with their distinctive sparkling sake SHINSEI. The pairing dinner was well-received, with all attendees opting for additional orders of SHIRIN, further highlighting the high interest in SAKE HUNDRED's products among the Taiwanese guests.

Three months into exporting to Taiwan, SAKE HUNDRED has already supplied over 20 establishments, including six Michelin-listed restaurants, demonstrating a successful entry into the market. The brand aims to provide unparalleled experiences, fulfilling its purpose to “satisfy hearts and color lives.” This is part of a broader strategy to enhance its global presence.

Taiwan's market appears particularly promising for Japanese sake, ranking fifth globally in export value. The country's demand for sake has notably increased, with a remarkable 5.3-fold growth in export value over the last 15 years. Notably, Taiwan stands out as the only top five exporting country to have continuously increased its export unit prices for over a decade.

On March 22, the dinner commenced with a toast featuring SHINSEI. The carefully curated menu included delicate dishes like raw scallops with spring vegetable jelly paired with the effervescent sake, and savory seafood ramen complemented by BYAKKO. The balance of flavors was further demonstrated with BYAKKO BESPOKE, paired with lava-grilled dishes, while a sumptuous wagyu tenderloin was perfectly matched with NIKO, showcasing the exceptional taste and aromatic depth of the sake.

Guests were enthusiastic about the dining experience. One couple remarked, “It was our first encounter with SAKE HUNDRED’s sake. The brand's story is captivating, and we were delighted to have the CEO join us today. We purchased a set to share with our family.” Another guest, a food blogger, said, “SAKE HUNDRED sets itself apart from other brands with its luxurious and refined experiences.”

The enthusiasm displayed during the event has prompted SAKE HUNDRED to plan a similar pairing dinner at Ukai-tei Kaohsiung, another prominent restaurant in one of Taiwan's major port cities, targeting a summer launch.

As SAKE HUNDRED continues to expand in the Taiwanese luxury dining market, it emphasizes the importance of brand recognition and product quality, striving to leave a lasting impression on its customers, and contributing to a rich cultural exchange through their premium sake offerings.
