Upcoming Event: Sake Gumi Exclusive Field Trip to Sequoia Brewery (SF)

May 18, 2016Kayoko Akabori
052916_sequoia_sqV2 We are excited to announce our very first field trip exclusively for Sake Gumi members. We're going to Sequoia Sake Brewery in San Francisco! This is the City's first sake brewery and we are thrilled to share with this opportunity to tour the site with Sequoia's founders and sit down for a special sake tasting and food pairing. Jake Myrick, his wife Noriko Kamei and Jake's friend Warren Pfal started Sequoia Sake together in the lower Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco in 2014. What makes Sequoia Sake so special is their dedication to bringing namazake (unpasteurized) sakes to the Bay Area. This means that we are getting the sakes right out of the tank. They specialize in three sakes: Nama, Genshu (tank-strength sakes with high ABVs), and Nigoris. We are proud to carry all three at Umami Mart, which are delivered frequently to ensure freshness. Here's a list of what we'll be up to at Sequoia Sake Brewery: - Seminar on Sake Basics - Facility tour which explains end-to-end sake brewing process including sampling of amazake (sweet non-alcoholic sake) and sake-kasu (sake lees) - Sake flight tasting and food-pairing - 15% discount off all Sequoia Sakes WHAT: Members-only Sake Gumi Field Trip to Sequoia Sake Brewery Facility tour with a sake tasting with food pairing WHEN: Sunday, May 29, 2016, 1-3pm WHERE: This event is off-site Sequoia Sake Brewery 50 Apparel Way, San Francisco, CA 94124 TICKETS: $25 at Eventbrite (password protected for Sake Gumi members only) Limited space availability so get your tickets ASAP!

  • Oh no. We’ll be out of town that weekend. Do you think you’ll do another tour at Sequoia on another weekend?
