NamaFest 2026

Join us at NamaFest 2026 on April 25 at Umami Mart for fresh-pressed, unpasteurized sakes from the Bay and beyond!

The year of the horse calls for energy and passion - a perfect reason to enjoy vigorous and robust namas! Spring is the time to break out the namas as they start to roll out of breweries in spring in Japan and right here in the Bay Area. We'll bask in the sun (or clouds!) of Oakland for this smash event! Check out the recap from NamaFest 2025 here. 

NamaFest, our annual spring celebration of unpasteurized sakes, is back and bigger than ever! Try all the drinks available with your ticket. We'll be raising a glass with breweries from the Bay Area to Japan, importers, and Casa de Kei, who will be popping up with delicious dishes to pair along with the namas. Oh, and don't forget to shake your booty to DJ Jody's jams!
