OUR STORY
Inspired by a Passion for Sake
After attending sake celebrations across North America — like Sake Day San Francisco and Kampai Toronto — founder Marina Giordano set out to bring the experience home to Boston.
Sake Day East exists to introduce the people of Boston and New England to this complex, ancient beverage. Join us for a walk-around tasting where guests sample a wide range of styles and grades of sake from Japan and the United States.
