We took a field trip to the Bay Area's very own sake brewery – Sequoia Sake in San Francisco, which specializes in 3 sakes: Nama, Genshu, and Nigori.

A Sake Gumi members-only field trip to Sequoia Sake Brewery in San Francisco. Featuring facility tour and a sake tasting with food pairing. Limited tickets!

For our May Sake Gumi offerings, we've chosen 4 sakes that'll taste great with smoky, spicy, and grilled foods – just in time for the upcoming summer BBQs!

Jitsuraku Tokubetsu Junmai Kimoto, Shichi Hon Yari “The Seven Spearsmen†Junmai, Yamato Shizuku Junmai, Inemankai “Ine’s Full Bloom†Red Junmai Genshu sake.

Yuki no Bosha “Cabin in the Snow†Junmai Ginjo, Gunma Izumi Honjozo, Nechi Otokoyama Junmai Ginjo, Gunma Izumi Yamahai Junmai sake.

We wanted to choose sake that would compliment this day when many of us will be eating turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy.
