...and we're done.
Our sincerest thanks to our friends who helped us build and run the bar, everyone who wrote a kind media article about us, and most of all everyone who visited our bar and spent an evening (or two, or three) with us. We were blown away by your enthusiasm, curiosity and support.
ありがとうございます。
Thank you very much.

Tonight's saké flights are sold out, but we're open for walk-ins from 8:00pm. First in - first served. We have a bench for waiting, or if you're hanging around the neighbourhood we can take your number and call you when a space is available. See you soon 🍶✌🏼

Sayonara. Au revoir. Adios. Good bye. It's our final night on Ebenezer Place. What our future holds, we don't know - but we suggest your short term future should include one last (or your first) visit to for a taste of design, hospitality and of course - super premium .

As much as we love nihonshu, and we do love it A LOT, we couldn't run a Japanese saké bar without taking a moment to acknowledge the phenomenal rise and rise of JAPANESE WHISKY.
In 2015 Suntory's Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013 was declared the best whisky in the world by whisky expert Jim Murray who awarded it a record equalling 97.5 / 100.
Japanese age expression whiskies continue to win multiple awards world wide and gladly / sadly become harder to come by.
Here at Saké Society we're taking a night to celebrate Suntory's fine work by offering a flight of three 12 year old whiskies with paired snacks: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Hibiki.
We will be joined by Beam Suntory's premium brand ambassador Erica Richards who will guide us through the three fantastic examples of the Japanese distillers' craft, and enlighten us further on the history and production of Suntory's world beating drops.

Melbourne-based restaurateur and bar owner Andre Bishop has made it his mission to elevate Japan’s most renowned drink to the status he says it deserves — something akin to that of wine. Since opening his first bar in 2000, Bishop has done perhaps more than any other Australian to raise the profile…
