✨10 days till SD SAKE DAY✨
❄️Jozen born in Niigata’s snow country, captures the purity and elegance of mountain water. With its crisp, smooth taste and modern design, it redefined sake for a new generation while honoring timeless Japanese craftsmanship.
🍶Jozen Mizuno Gotoshi Nigori:
Shirataki brewery draw pristine, naturally coal filtered, snow-melt water from not one, but three different wells. It is this water that helps Shiratki make such elegant sake. And while people often think of nigorizake as creamy, sweet and simple, this is anything but. Using local Koshi Ibuki rice polished to an impressive 55% this is a layered, slightly dry nigori. Herbacous notes of mint pair with gentle fruity aromas of pear and banana, before yielding to a hint of marshmallow.
Don’t miss out to taste this delicious Nigori at San Diego Sake Day!

California’s Central Valley lies Koda Farms, the oldest family-owned rice farm in the state. Founded in the 1920s by Keisaburo Koda, a Japanese immigrant with a vision, the farm became a cornerstone of Japanese-American agricultural history.
🍶Uka sake: The rice grown by Ross Koda, third-generation owner of Koda Farms makes its journey back to Fukushima, the Koda family’s homeland. There, it is transformed into a beautiful sake by Japanese brewers — a true emergence of tradition and innovation. Uka organic sparkling is always the fan favorites and you must try to have a toast to celebrate the world sake day!

San Diego Sake Day is almost here!
We’ll be counting down the days by featuring the incredible sakes you’ll get to taste at the festival🍶🥳 Kicking off the countdown with Koedo Kagamiyama from Saitama, Japan!
Koedo Kagamiyama Sake Brewery is a historical brewery from Kawagoe, Saitama. Originally founded in 1875 as Kagamiyama Sake Brewery, it faced closure in 2000 due to a lack of successors. However, in 2007, a group of passionate young individuals revived the brewery, bringing back its rich traditions and the only sake brewery in Kawagoe today. Nestled in the Musashino region, Kawagoe is renowned for its sake brewing, thanks to its pristine, soft, and mellow subterranean waters flowing from the Chichibu mountain range. These waters, along with the region’s fertile rice fields, create the perfect conditions for crafting sake with a delicate, refined flavor.
