We stumbled across Tippsy Sake almost by accident, and it’s quietly become one of the best discoveries we’ve made since our first trip to Japan. It’s not just a store—it feels like an extension of the kind of exploration we love most: wandering back alleys in Kyoto, finding tiny shops and breweries we’d never heard of, and being surprised at every turn. Tippsy has become our go-to source for both our favorite bottles—the ones we thought we’d only be able to drink in Japan—and new finds that we hadn’t even known existed. The selection is thoughtful, often surprising, and always impeccably curated. But what makes Tippsy stand out is how much it feels like you’re learning as you go. The depth of education they offer on the different types of sake, brewing techniques, and flavor profiles adds a richness to the experience that we rarely find outside of conversations with toji in Japan. And speaking of priceless—if you’re serious about sake, their unlimited shipping deal is a hidden gem. Once we realized how often we were ordering, it was an obvious choice. It’s made it easier (and far more tempting) to keep exploring, bottle after bottle. Tippsy has brought that sense of discovery home for us, and we’re grateful every time we pour something new.
