NamaFest 2026 did not disappoint 🍶✨🎉
On April 25, we gathered at @umamimart to celebrate all things nama—fresh-pressed, unpasteurized sake - and the energy was vibrant, bold, and full of life 💫
Our sake specialist Alex was pouring Brooklyn Kura’s nama lineup, featuring Blue Door and Fourteen, and the response couldn’t have been better 🙌🍶 Amazing turnout, and even better feedback - Brooklyn Kura was a clear crowd favorite 💙🔥
From incredible pours to delicious bites, nothing beats enjoying lively namas in great company 🥂
Already looking forward to next year ✨

🍶✨We had the honor of supporting an incredible collaboration event with Uncle Fossil, Fuji Omakase, and Katsuyama Sake Brewery. After a few days of ride-alongs together, it was special to help bring everything together and be part of such a memorable evening.
An unforgettable experience of rare, exceptional sake paired with incredible omakase—every course thoughtfully matched and beautifully executed. 🍣🍶
A huge thank you to our partners at Uncle Fossil and Fuji Omakase for their collaboration and hospitality. And an extra special appreciation to Katsuyama for joining us—learning about samurai sake and experiencing a traditional-style toast led by President Isawa Jihei was unforgettable.
When the call rang out—“SENSHŌ!” ⚔️—we answered together: “BANZAI!” 🎌 Loud, fierce, and united.
Grateful for great partners, meaningful experiences, and nights like these. 🥂

🍶✨ Happy National Siblings Day! ✨🍶
Some of the best sake stories are written by siblings. 👬💡 Different strengths, shared roots, one vision.
🌿 Senkin (Tochigi-ken) – Brothers blending philosophy, terroir & modern style in every bottle.
⚖️ Hachinohe Shuzo (Aomori-ken) – One runs the business, the other crafts the brew. Together, they make the beloved “Mutsu Hassen.”
🏔️ Yamanashi Meijo (Yamanashi-ken) – Tradition + innovation, siblings refining heritage for a new generation with “Shichiken.”
Three breweries. Three sibling stories.
Great sake, like family, is stronger together. ❤️🍶
