What a wild ride this year has been. For all the good, and errr, not-so-good times, we thank you for staying in our Gumi family. It's the best chosen family around! With delicious bottles, pairing ideas, special events, and exclusive content, it's a merry group to be a part of – and the best part is, we won't debate politics over turkey!

In the past 11 years, the Gumi family has grown to include Shochu Gumi and Whisky Gumi. With over 250 members, our Gumunity (goo-mew-ni-tee) is stronger than ever.

As a huge thank you to our members, we are throwing our second annual Gumi Appreciation Night! 

This is a party to celebrate you, our dear members. Thank YOU for showing your love and support through thick and thin. Your membership keeps our small business inspired and community thriving.

Our first annual event was a festive gala and was a heartwarming affair that kicked off the holiday shopping season with a bang.

Join us this year as we close the store to the public from 5-7pm for a super special members-only event on Saturday, December 6. 

A night of discounted shopping for members only: Get all your shopping done early with 20% off the entire store during this time!* 

Members will enjoy complimentary drinks, all while having access to  everything in our shop at a discount! Check off everyone on that list – yeah!

Try all the drinks, for FREE! Yoko will be pouring special isshobin 1.8L sakes, Kayoko will be making celebratory highballs, while Dre and Griffin will be serving up cozy cocktails to commemorate our members who span three dynamic clubs: Sake Gumi, Shochu Gumi, Whisky Gumi. Get to know everyone in the clubs! 

Plus, special guest Yusuke Konno will be pouring Oshu no Ryu's "Baseball Series" sake from Shohei Ohtani's hometown

Eat Casa de Kei's food: We heard you from last year, and our food offering will be more robust. Our favorite brother, Casa de Kei will be popping up outside with scrumptious Japa-Cali dishes to pair with sake, shochu, and cocktails. Food is a separate charge - pay Kei directly.

The dress code is Gumi Glam and/or Japanese Baseball! 

Take advantage of this annual perk that will be a chance to sip, socialize, and shop. We can't wait to see everyone's faces and catch up on all of the holiday happenings with y'all. 

Want to join in on this exclusive event? You need to be a part of one of the clubs! Sign up by Nov 30, 2025 to attend.
