News & Events

World Sake Imports believes that the best way to learn about sake is to drink some. Throughout the year we host sake dinners, Meet the Brewer receptions, tasting seminars and seasonal “new label parties” showcasing the terrific sakes now arriving in the U.S. These events are open to the public and provide a great opportunity to learn about sake, meet fellow enthusiasts and of course enjoy delicious labels in peak condition. Every effort is made to deliver maximum enjoyment ratio (moments of pleasure divided by dollars of expenditure).
