WAKAZE France was founded in 2016. They went on to open their first in-house brewery in Tokyo in 2018, followed by their KURA GRAND PARIS in 2019, which, at the time of completion, became the largest sake brewery in all of Europe! Originating from and trained in Japan, their mission is to brew sake for the modern world, and share it with everyone. They draw inspiration from French ideals, believing that they should stick to using local French ingredients. In 2023, their experimental mentality led to a partnership with Takara Sake USA Inc., which culminated in the 2024 release of a California-brewed sparkling sake.
