About WORLD SAKE DAY NYC

World Sake Day NYC was founded by Mika Furuya in 2021, with the first event held at her venue, MIKA Bar in Bushwick, in partnership with Shinobu Kato of Kato Sake Works. The first edition featured 12 sakes from four companies: Kato Sake Works, Gosakeman, Kubota, and Skurnik Wines, drawing over 300 attendees. Since then, the event has grown steadily in both size and impact., the debut event welcomed over 300 guests.

Now in its fifth year, the event has grown to showcase 70+ sakes from 40 breweries across Japan and the U.S.

Its mission is to celebrate and promote Japanese craft sake by connecting guests directly with the brewers behind it — sharing the culture, people, and passion that make sake unique.
