Tucked inside a collective in Oakland, Den Sake’s James Beard Award-nominated Yoshi Sako uses time-honored Japanese techniques to brew small-batch sake using single-origin rice grown on Rue & Forsman ranch in the Sacramento Valley. With a focus on crafting sake that is meant to pair with northern California’s renowned cuisine, Yoshi works with the region’s sommeliers and shop owners to bring the beautifully ephemeral flavor of sake to the American table.
Join tasteMAKERS’ Emmy-winning producer Cat Neville for Meet the Makers, a live program featuring segments from the Den Sake episode, plus live interviews and demos with Den Sake’s Yoshi and Lani Sako, plus sake expert Yoko Kumano of Umami Mart.
