About us
A room of our own
A quieter way to
experience sake.
HEYA HONG KONG was founded by Billy Au in 2021 with a clear mission: to give a new dimension to enjoying sake in Hong Kong.
In a city where sake was largely misunderstood or overlooked, Billy saw an opportunity to change that.
The name HEYA — meaning “room” in Japanese — speaks to the experience itself: a cozy, welcoming space where everyone can discover something different, a deliberate departure from the hectic pace of Hong Kong city life.
What began as intimate tasting evenings has grown into Hong Kong’s most immersive sake programme — always keeping the same intentional small size, reverence for the craft, and belief that sake deserves to be understood, not just consumed.
