Luxury Sake Brand "HENGE" Collaborates with Teppanyaki Master "Honten Yamashina" for a One-Night-Only Maker's Dinner on May 17, 2026 (Sunday)

Luxury sake brand "HENGE" (operated by Cypher Inc.) will hold a maker's dinner in collaboration with "Honten Yamashina," a renowned teppanyaki restaurant in Ginza, Tokyo, on May 18, 2026 (Sunday). This event will offer an experience where sake and cuisine unite, based on HENGE's theme of "ever-changing flavors." Sake is not something that is complete on its own; its inherent value is drawn out when it intertwines with food, space, and time spent with people. HENGE designs the flavor of sake not as a "fixed entity" but as an "experience" that changes depending on the drinker and the environment. This maker's dinner serves as a venue to embody this philosophy, presenting new charms of sake through pairing with cuisine. On the day of the event, HENGE's sake will be served in a pairing format alongside a special teppanyaki course prepared by Honten Yamashina. With the live sensation of dishes being finished right before your eyes, the flavors will evolve in an even more three-dimensional way as each meticulously designed sake harmonizes with each dish. Furthermore, by having the brand convey the development background and the design philosophy of the flavors directly, we aim to deliver an experience that goes beyond mere dining. All current HENGE lineup products, "UMAMI," "CLEAR," and "CLEAR Muroka Nama Genshu," will be offered. In addition, this event will also feature a secret sake that is not usually available for sale. Including a special bottle introduced only in limited settings, the offerings will be structured to maximize compatibility with the cuisine. ## How to Apply Applications can be made from the following page on the HENGE brand website. https://henge-sake.com/products/henge-pairing-event-yamashina ## Event Overview Date: May 17, 2026 (Sunday) Time (Two sessions): - First session: 17:00-19:00 (Reception starts 16:50) - Second session: 19:30-21:30 (Reception starts 19:20) *Each session is limited to 6 guests.

We are challenging the revival of "sake with distinctive flavors" that are being lost, pursuing a unique experience without any compromise in ingredients, brewing methods, or design. Within the limited ingredients of rice, water, and koji, there is infinite expression. Sake is inherently meant to be freer, more diverse, and full of creativity. What HENGE aims for is not just delicious sake. It is a bottle that moves the heart the moment it touches the lips, leaving a lingering memory. It is a drop born from facing sensitivity, not efficiency or marketability. This is "ever-changing sake" HENGE. ■ Brand Name: Sake "HENGE" ■ Operating Company: Cypher Inc. ■ Official Website: https://henge-sake.com ■ Official Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/henge.sake
