Surf’s up!

Takara Sake USA wanted to create a sake that would tap into the California spirit. The surfing pelican on the label is a nod to the local culture and a hint of what to pair this junmai sake with: seafood! Using white koji instead of yellow koji increases the level of citric acid, making it a vibrant, refreshing drink that works perfectly with oysters, scallops, grilled lobster tail and more.

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!
