Takara Sake USA
Takara Sake USA is a member of Takara Group, the leading corporation of alcohol-related business and biotechnology in Japan. The original sake brewery was founded in 1842 in Kyoto’s Fushimi district. In 1983, they made the bold decision to launch a new brewing facility in California. They employ Japanese personnel and techniques in combination with high quality local resources: pure snow melt water from the Sierra Nevada, and superior rice from the fertile Sacramento Valley. Their bestselling brand Sho Chiku Bai is many Americans’ first foray into sake. Visit their brewery, tasting room and sake museum in Berkeley!
