Our Members Say

Jonathan S.Silver member since 2020

Sake Gumi allows you to be a part of the most amazing local business community while also learning about a new sake every month!

Brittany R.Gold member since 2018

Sake Gumi is the best kind of surprise every month. Yoko and Kayoko always pick bottles I'd never find on my own, and I've picked up way more sake knowledge than I ever expected. Umami Mart was the start of my whole sake journey, and being part of this club keeps that adventure going every month!

Ken B.Gold member since 2016

My wife and I have been Sake Gumi members from nearly the very start. It gives us the opportunity to try sakes that we know are right up our alley and also the opportunity to try some that might otherwise be a little outside of our comfort zone, which has broadened that zone.

Events

Have you been hearing about shochu from your friends? From our emails? From coming into the shop? Do you have experience drinking shochu either at our bar or in Japan but never took a deep dive before? Know the difference between shochu and soju??? Join us for this fun and educational program that demystifies this yet-to-be-discovered distilled beverage.

What is Japanese whisky all about? This beginner and intermediate friendly course answers this burning question and more, led by our Spirits Portfolio Manager De'Andre Crenshaw. This seminar will cover history, production, and current trends, plus a guided tasting comprised of five prominent Japanese whiskies.

Join us November 12 for our quarterly book club meeting at Umami Mart to discuss this historical novel. We'll undoubtably talk about what's changed, what hasn't changed, and what needs to change! Our lively discussion will take place at our bar, were you can order tea, sake, and cocktails.
