A VISION FOR SAKE
Founded in 2019, Sawtelle Sake is a company and brewery built from the ground up by a passionate team with a bold vision for sake in the U.S. While honoring the rich heritage and history of the craft, we embrace the abundant resources around us to create sake that reflects the distinct character of California and resonates with American consumers. We are driven by a deep passion for expanding the domestic sake market, introducing new audiences to its versatility, and redefining how sake is experienced.
