British-Canadian techno DJ and producer Richie Hawtin has launched his ENTER.Sake range of the Japanese spirit in the UK at a pop-up dinner in the capital followed by a DJ set, The Drinks Business reported on 10 October.
Hawtin was inspired by his visits to Japan over the years, where he would visit breweries between gigs. The range had previously been available in Ibiza, where it was launched four years ago, and Japan.
The DJ has Advanced Sake Professional Certification and, in 2014, was recognised as an official Sake Samurai by the Japan Sake Brewers Association.
