Great place to experience the living history of Sake making, right in the bay Area. Very reasonable tasting prices and the staff are always very friendly. Big discounts versus online or at retail.

Love this place! The membership is absolutely worth it if you live in the Bay Area and can visit regularly. The staff are amazing, friendly, welcoming, and great at what they do. The sake quality never disappoints. We always leave with a smile, and every friend I’ve brought here has loved it too. Don’t miss their occasional events, they’re set in such a great atmosphere and make for a truly unique experience! One recommendation would be to open the parking lot for customers on tasting days.

I broiled chicken breasts with wasabe and was delighted to accompany it with wonderful HANA Fuji Apple Dake. Great taste; thank you!

Do make sure make a reservation before you go and credit card only if you like to purchase anything after your testing!
We have Eugene as our guide/host. He is wonderful, very knowledgeable about the products and the making of the sake.
We sampled more than ten different Daijinjo, Junmai and Kinpaku. But my favorite is still the Daijinjo!
Everyone here is very nice and friendly. Miss Hope Cooc is very nice and helpful with our order. We love to continue to coming back here to fix our Sake withdrawal.

Truck pickup: from i80 take University, take right at sixth st, then right turn on Allison Way, and right turn on fourth Street then turn left into the gate opening. Pull in and check in with shipper. Nice people load quickly as well. Follow the saw way out back to i80.

I visited with my friends, and this place is amazing! It was a very informative experience, which included the museum, video, and wonderful stories and explanations by Vivian! She is truly captivating and keeps you engaged. I appreciate Sake much more after this experience. Reserve tastings in advance because they do sell out!!!

Sake was excellent and Vivian is a wonderful guide.

Went there for the sake tasting. I can’t believe it’s only $20 for 5 different sakes. There are optional ones you can add, I would avoid them if it’s your first time. You’ll get the full range and next time you can spend extra on the stuff you like rather than experimenting on some of the higher end ones.
The staff is extremely friendly, I am not super fan of sweet fruity sake, and they offer to change it for something else they recommended.
Overall, pretty great experience.

Karen was our host of 4 and she was excellent! $20 for the tasting menu of 4 different sake. You can do add on for more tasting. The ticket includes museum as well. Reservations recommended!
Very nice tasting room, and very knowledgeable staff made for a pleasant tasting event. The sake was also very good, and I found a new favorite. For our tasting event with about 8 people, we stood around the host for the entire tasting of 6 item, which would have been better if there were seating. They have seating, but it looked like it was set up for a catered event (so plates and silverware - unusual for a tasting room). But it was a good experience, and seems to me to be a good value too. The hostess was delightful, and we were treated to an additional “bubbly” sake, which I didn’t even know existed, but is now my new favorite. The whole event is worth doing. Expect to have a craving for sushi afterwards. There is a nice Japanese restaurant in walking distance, so that was a bonus. When I want on Sunday afternoon, there was plenty of free street parking near by.

Can’t get bored with this place even you go many times! Best service and sake, so worth the price!

Definitely recommend doing a tasting, make sure to book in advance. The museum is small (1 large room) but interesting. You can also buy bottles directly from them without doing a tasting. And of course, the sake is delicious!

The tasting room & sake museum are a hidden gem of the East Bay! I’m so happy a friend and I got to enjoy them today ?We both lived in Japan years ago, so the display of Japanese culture brought back many fond memories. Even those who haven’t yet traveled to Japan will know a lot about it after touring the small museum’s carefully explained artifacts, viewing its short sake-making documentary, and sampling a variety of sakes with the careful guidance of a friendly, patient, hospitable host.

Great place to learn about sake and go tasting! Small but informative museum on site, and really knowledgeable people in the tasting room. They also have bottles you can only get there. Vivian was the amazing and I'd go back just for her!! Kanpai!
