In Sake Today no. 40 we featured Tsuchida Shuzo, a brewery in Gunma with a beautiful campus. The sake is rather good, too, giving you two reasons to visit! saketoday.com/product/issue-…

Attention sake lovers in Tokyo (or those visiting the big city). A new sake tasting bar recently opened in Asakusa called WASAKE. Like they say, it's not just a bar, it's an experience! Give it a look and stop by: wasakexperienceeg.com

This is SF Bay Area local love: San Francisco’s @21stAmendment brewer/owner @shaunosullivan pouring Oakland’s Den Sake at Ippuku in Berkeley. We featured Den in Sake Today 18. How about a 21A + Den collab?

Noriyoshi (6th generation president of Nagai Shuzo) smiles and says, “The concept behind this tasting room is, in a sense, to welcome important guests to our family parlor and, together with the brewery staff, provide them the fullest hospitality possible.” —from Sake Today 39

The food at Shinka, Nagai Shuzo’s elegant tasting room, is as beautiful as the space itself.

“Toward the back of the tasting room is a spacious balcony that offers an expansive view of rice fields growing Yukihotaka, the pride of Kawaba. By design, visitors can enjoy Nagai Shuzō’s sake while luxuriating in the fresh breezes that blow through the fields of rice.“ (ST39)

The most beautiful sake tasting room in Japan? Nagai Shuzo’s Shinka should be on the short list. We featured this Gunma brewery and its amazing space in Sake Today 39.

Régis Camus of Heaven Sake with Kôichi Saura, president of Urakasumi (13th generation from his family). Régis was featured in our most recent edition of Sake Today. Urakasumi (featured in Sake Today 19) is one of several excellent breweries he has brought his blending magic to.

The annual American Craft Beer Experience in Tokyo showcases American craft beer. We wonder how a North American or European Craft Sake Experience would do... There's so much amazing sake in Japan, we think it'd get mixed reviews, but it would certainly garner attention.

日本の最高のビールフェスの1つ、アメリカンクラフトビールエクスペリエンス(ACBE)。今年は11/1〜3に東京・竹芝で開催される。日本のトップインポーターが集めるACBEのラインナップには満足すること間違いなし。入場無料で、会場の雰囲気もよく、フードも楽しめる。uscraftbeer.jp

Another sake we were excited to try at Sake Day SF was Ishimoto Shuzo’s Amane, a delicious junmai ginjo poured by none other than Anthony Pascale, the chef-owner of Saiko Sushi, one of San Diego’s best Japanese restaurants.


Gekkeikan USA’s Mark Zheng-Garratt (whom we featured in ST38) serves up some warmed Black & Gold at Sake Day San Francisco this past weekend. It was awarded Gold at the 2024 Warm Sake Contest in Japan. Yes, it was quite good. @gekkeikansake


The best part of visiting a brewery? Tasting their offerings, of course! We hope you enjoyed this series of photos at Otani Shuzo, makers of Takaisumi sake in Tottori, a prefecture known for its devotion to junmai. Check out the features in Sake Today 39… or visit for yourself!

The best biceps workout? Working in a brewery! Here, Otani Shuzo is using air to blow rice from the koshiki to the tank. It spares the workers some backbreaking labor (though not that biceps workout). The kurabito waits and mixes it all up as it comes in to maintain consistency.

There is a feature on Hitachino Nest’s Beer Bus which takes folks to their distillery, main beer brewery, and original sake brewery (Kiuchi Shuzo). It culminates with a fantastic dinner at the classy sake brewery restaurant. Worth checking out!
