3rd American Craft Sake Tasting

Explore the Evolution of American Craft Sake

Join us at Sequoia Sake Brewery for a unique tasting celebrating the incredible growth of American craft sake.

When we hosted our first American Craft Sake Tasting in 2021, only a handful of U.S. breweries were producing sake. Our second event in 2022 showcased six breweries from across the country. Since then, the American craft sake movement has expanded dramatically, with new breweries opening and the quality and diversity of American-made sake reaching exciting new heights.

Four years later, we're bringing the event back.

This year's tasting features 10 carefully selected craft sakes from pioneering breweries across the United States, offering a rare opportunity to compare their unique brewing philosophies, regional influences, and flavor profiles—all in one place.

Whether you're discovering sake for the first time or already a devoted enthusiast, you'll experience firsthand just how vibrant the American craft sake scene has become.
