This is a golden opportunity to visit one of the few sake-producer tasting rooms in the U.S. We will also be treated to a private tour of the on-site museum.
Takara’s Junmai sake production achieves a delicate balance between traditional sake-making craftsmanship and advanced sake brewing technology. The Berkeley facility produces the flagship “Sho Chiku Bai” brand of premium sake, flavored sake, plum wine and mirin, and also imports specialty sake and shochu from its sister breweries and distilleries in Japan, where Takara has been an industry leader for over 180 years. The tasting room is a work of art in itself, designed by world-famous architect Don Hisaka. The design reflects on the name Takara, which means “treasure from the rice paddy.”
The Sake Museum covers ancient sake-making techniques and the fusion with modern technology, creating a rich tapestry of tradition and innovation.
Group Size: 20 to 25, must be at least age 21 to participate
Cost: Members and guests $40 (one half to be donated to the PBK scholarship fund and one half to cover the cost of the sake tasting)
Non-members and guests $50 ($30 for scholarships, $20 for cost of sake)
