​Join the Sake Revolution

About Us/Sobre Nós

SakeMico® was founded in 2014.  Based in Lisbon, we are the first company in Portugal to specialize in the import, distribution, education and promotion of Premium Japanese Sake and Japanese Sake Culture.

​Although Sake is an ancient beverage steeped in history and tradition, a new generation of Japanese brewers have given new life to this "Drink of the Gods." Today it is a sophicsticated , fashionable  beverage suited to accompany an international array of dishes.

To learn more about Japanese Sake, you can visit our Tasting Room in Campo do Ourique or contact us directly.

SAKE SUNDAY
The first Sunday of every month from 17:00 to 20:00, we hold an Industry night. We open specifically for restaurant professionals and their invitees to come and experience sake culture. We offer a selection of sakes  by the glass and small plates at drastically reduced prices. Several local sake sommelier consultants are usually present. It is an opportunity for the restaurant community in Portugal to come together under one roof and taste a variety of sakes. Due to the popularity of this event. it is frequently standing room only.

A SakeMico® foi fundada em 2014. Somos a primeira e única companhia em Portugal especializada em importação, venda e distribuição de Premium Sake Japonês. O nosso alvo é informar e educar todos os que se interessem por sake e sua respetiva cultura.

History of Our Logo

Our logo is our Kamon (family crest). Kamon origins date back to the Heian period and became widely used in the Kamakura period when feudal Samurai clans would use them to mark their victories. During the  Edo period,  Kamon became an indication of the social status of your family. In modern day Japan, they have become widely used symbols of ones family origins.and heritage. We are of the Asano clan, descended from the Minamoto clan through the Toki family. Our Kamon is 2 crossed feathers.

What does Our Name Mean?
酒巫女

SakeMico is a double entendre. "Mico" is slang in Brazilian Portuguese for an embarassing situation. It is the shortened version for a longer expression, "pague mico" (pay the monkey).  Miko in Japanese means almost the opposite: Sorceress, Half divine-half human, Shinto Shrine Maiden. We thought the paradox was appropriate.
