About Us
SakeMico was founded in 2014. We are the pioneer company in Portugal specialising in the import, distribution, and promotion of JUNMAI-SHU (Pure Premium Japanese Sake).
We opened our first small Tasting Room/Sake Bar on a side street in Campo de Ourique in 2016. However, the social distancing measures implemented during the pandemic forced us to shut down in 2020. After almost a year of only on-line sales, we acquired a larger space behind Jardim de Estrela, where we re-opened in 2022 as an Izakaya with the addition of two new partners. We also continue to import and distribute as well as hold tastings & teach sake courses.
