Sake Bliss at San Diego’s 8th Annual Sake Festival

The 8th Annual San Diego SAKE Festival is coming to town, promising a day of pure sake indulgence. Whether you’re a seasoned sake sipper or a curious newcomer, this event is your passport to the rich world of Japan’s beloved brew.

San Diego Sake Festival

Sake Galore

Over 100 premium craft sake varieties await. From crisp junmai to velvety nigori, you’ll find your new favorite sip. And the best part? It’s unlimited tasting, so you can explore to your heart’s content.

Meet the Masters

Rub elbows with sake brewers, brewery owners, and specialists. It’s like a sake masterclass but way more fun. Got questions? They’ve got answers. Curious about the brewing process? Just ask!

Ceremony and Celebration

The “Kagami Biraki”—the traditional barrel opening ceremony—is a highlight not to be missed. It’s your chance to taste this year’s featured sake fresh from the source. And while you’re sipping, enjoy live performances by local artists that’ll keep the vibe as smooth as the sake.

San Diego Sake Club

VIP Treatment

For the ultimate sake experience, snag one of the 30 Exclusive VIP tickets. You’ll get early access, a private lounge, premium nigiri sushi pairings, and special sake tastings led by the pros.

Nonbei Benefits
