While it’s wonderful to have numerous options for enjoying sake imported from Japan, the sake scene here truly thrives when we have local artisans creating a British interpretation of sake with the local audience in mind. Located on the Bermondsey Beer Mile, Kanpai is a perfect stop to include if you're bar hopping. Try their sakes on tap, as this is an experience you can't have when drinking bottles shipped all the way from Japan. Their sakes are incredibly fresh, juicy, and vibrant, which is only possible when the sake is made on site!
