We at True Sake realize the best way to "know" sake is to "taste" sake! And that is why we host at least one major sake tasting per month at various locations in and around San Francisco. We also co-promote tasting spectacles and functions with other entities such as importers and distributors. Likewise we also inform sake drinkers of all the events that we are not even part of in the "spirit" of promoting the betterment of sake and sake education.

If you are curious about trying sakes, if you are wanting to learn more about sake, or if you just want to have a great time please refer to our "Sake Tastings & Events" page on a regular basis, it will keep you informed of any sake-centric events happening in the Bay Area and beyond!
