Houston Sommelier Association-September 2026

Join us for a special sake education session featuring Toko and Takatenjin, two historic Japanese breweries bringing tradition, innovation, and sustainability to the glass. This guided tasting will explore the pristine waters of Shizuoka and Yamagata, the craftsmanship behind styles from Junmai Ginjo to Junmai Daiginjo, and the stories of breweries shaped by samurai history, renewable energy, and generations of family lineage. Through a lineup of expressive, beautifully crafted sakes, guests will gain a deeper understanding of regional identity, rice polishing, brewing techniques, and the evolving role of sake on the global stage.
