A Night of Elegance: SAKE HUNDRED's Pairing Event at Villa32
On October 31, 2025, Villa32, a luxurious resort in Taipei, hosted an exclusive pairing event to celebrate the one-year anniversary of SAKE HUNDRED's launch in Taiwan.

The evening featured a selection of five exceptional sake products, including SAKE HUNDRED's flagship series:

Taiwan is recognized as one of the most promising markets for Japanese sake, being the only country among the top five in Japan's sake export list to experience a continuous increase in export prices for over ten years. SAKE HUNDRED is keenly aware of this potential; thus, it has prioritized Taiwan as a key area for expansion starting from 2024.

- - Steamed King Crab with Fennel Cream and White Truffle,
- - Braised Red Shrimp with Porcini, Perfumed with Yuzu,
- - Roasted Blue Lobster accompanied by Japanese Citrus.
Each dish was carefully curated to complement five featured sake selections, enhancing the dining experience with rich flavors designed to satisfy the most discerning palate. Feedback from attendees expressed how the staff's expertise deepened their appreciation for sake, encouraging many to recommend SAKE HUNDRED to friends.
