Sakazuki blends Japanese tradition with digital technology — a portal to unlock hidden gems in Japan through curated experiences, art, and community.
Rooted in the centuries-old tradition of the sakazuki — the Japanese sake-sharing ceremony — the platform builds a community around connection, discovery, and shared moments. It lowers walls between people and brings them closer through culture, art, and experience.
Guided by Suntory group, Sakazuki honors the connections that naturally grow among people while inviting discovery of Japan's richest traditions.
At the heart of the platform is the Sakazuki Collective (NFT) — an invitation-only digital emblem of belonging. Each digital sakazuki serves as proof of membership, a personalized record of the holder's journey, and a symbol of connection that unites tradition and technology.
Small-batch objects, artworks, and spirits — each carrying the story of its maker and the moment you encountered it.
Deeply immersive journeys exploring regions, crafts, and stories across Japan. This is not tourism — this is immersion.
Invitation-only events around the world where connection becomes ceremony and community becomes craft.
Annual collaborations with creators who embody the Sakazuki spirit. Inaugural series features contemporary artist A-Mashiro.
The inaugural artist collaboration features A-Mashiro, a Tokyo-based contemporary artist with over 20 years of practice exploring balance, emotion, and color. Born in a traditional Japanese house with over 200 years of history, his work is deeply influenced by nature and traditional Japanese culture.
Each artwork becomes a digital Sakazuki — a shared symbol of creativity and connection.
